to me... a bunch of Trichocereus validus , am I wrong? - micromegas' plant This one labelled valida , I believe in order to keep 2 clones separately named as so .... reminds me of a lumberjackus on steroids!!! -purely by haircut alone though ... - Fields plant http://trichoseriousethnobotany.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/trichocereus-valida.html and on to a progeny from possibly the same cactus... if not, then the other clone there... (personal fave cactus pic on the planet for starting it off -it being : the re-ignition point of my recent obsession with validus) - brettloth's plant and possible origin from his truely amazing site: Trichoseriousethnobotany the spines kind of curve off to the right looking at the front of the cactus ...judging by this arial shot so long as it's not in reverse -giving the impression they're curving off to the left if you look at the top half of the pic, which is blatantly the back of the cactus
