Bongchitis Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Guys, I think this a scop but the yellow hue and thickness/size is alligned with what you are discussing. Just thought it may be of interest. Cheers..........Bongchitis p.s couldn't fix the pic below but you get the message. 4+ m tall! Edited October 1, 2006 by Bongchitis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAmine. Posted October 1, 2006 man how did she get the job? No doubt either because she is very pretty or dreadlocks. . . I have applied to the HHH thats about 5 mins walk from my place a few times now wiht absolutly no reply. My final asnwer from one of the other guys that works there is that "I dont look the part" and I guess I dont but I could answer more questions and be more helpful than any of the people Ive met in there.

Tripitaka Posted October 2, 2006 Here some more of the Super Pedro! I have the other form in post No. #16 Passive. What are you calling that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirLSD Posted October 2, 2006 would anyone like to trade me a super pedro cutting for this williamsii grafted on pachanoi? only the red circled buttons on the blue circled pachanoi base. will be cut off the mother so can either be planted as a graft or the buttons removed from the base and planted individually.

_e_ Posted October 2, 2006 sadly it seems the super pedro is only available in melbourne via HHH. Those of us that managed to get cuts earlier in the year are focusing on propgating it so it may become widely available in the not too distant future. If someone has a spare cut i would strongly reccomend taking sirlsd up on his offer. looks like a damn good trade to me. trip do u have one i gave u to spare?

AndyAmine. Posted October 3, 2006 Im also very interested in a cutting if someone has one spare, I can trade for an Eileen cutting later in the season? I really like Pachnoi and want to increase the diversity in my collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wisemonkey Posted October 4, 2006 Im also very interested in a cutting if someone has one spare, I can trade for an Eileen cutting later in the season?I really like Pachnoi and want to increase the diversity in my collection. Somr really tempting offers but I cant bring myself to chop mine. He's a perfect 2ft+ cactus, uncut & well rooted. I will definitely post some pics when I get around to it. Will keep you guys in mind when he throws off some pups. By the way does anybody have any hints on how to induce pupping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted October 4, 2006 Drill the tip!! lol, if its 2ft high now you should get a pup or 2 during this growing season..hopefully, just feed & water well.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted October 4, 2006 haven't read the topic yet, so don't know if somebody mentioned... why is the pedro stuck in the ground upside down (big pic with wood fence in backround)? is this a trial of some sort or by mistake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted October 4, 2006 planthelper, I just think it a bit thicker on the upper portions than the lower and gives the impression it is upside-down. If you look closely at the areoles and the angle they are on you can tell the plant is rightside-up. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tripitaka Posted October 4, 2006 Its right side up alright! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted October 4, 2006 wisemonkey, give it a nice big dose of blood n bone around the beginning of summer and plenty of water! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted October 5, 2006 hmm i dont have this one will swap ecuador pachanoi for a pup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted October 5, 2006 funny, today when i looked at the pic i realized right away i was wrong, and yes the areoles give it away. the emotions i felt for this (according to me) upside down planted cacti, made me obviously loose any objective opinon.

AndyAmine. Posted October 5, 2006 Looks very similar to the "Pachanoid" cacti I have been buying at Bunnings although they are still to young to tell. I also belive these to be a Scop x Pach hybrid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egad Posted October 6, 2006 I love these guys, Super Pedro has been around for a little while now and he's been expanding peoples awareness quite effectively, in fact since this post started there has been much buzz about him. Glad to see we have a consensus on his possible origins, pach x scop makes mucho sense after seeing him grow for a while. Got a few nice big chunks of him all set for a monsterous season. Picked up a few varieties of peruvianus/short spine peruvianus that came from the same locale recently, will post some pictures once they've had a chance to root and put out some pups. Should end up with an interesting variety of cosmic cacti from up there by the end of this season. :drool: Mmmm, Cosmic Cacti! Peace.

If you look closely at the areoles and the angle they are on you can tell the plant is rightside-up. Excuse my ignorance, but I have some beautiful blue peruvianus cuttings but I cant figure out which way is up, I was told when I bought it but have since forgotten. How can you tell???

planthelper Posted October 6, 2006 it is sometimes hard to tell, and thats why sometimes they are layed on ther side. but if you look at the seration and the areoles it becomes clear whats up and whats down. the areoles face a bit upwards. hmm, just twist you head so you can see the pic upside down, see that's what i mean. and yes, michael just a weak excuse, when in realety i would have just like to catch out somebody doing a wrong thing, haha. like the teacher or master strolling down the work shop, hey you, what the fuck you are doing, that pedro looks like planted upside down, get a grip mate, we are not here to have fun but to work for the pedro....

Love and Light Always Keep us up to date on the other varieties you sourced. If it is from the same grower then theres a possibility they are quite unique (within these growing circles anyway). Did you get a name for the other plants? I've heard theres two interesting plants being grown out that way, one has been called 'cuzcoensis' and the other is as yet unamed/unidentified. The cuzcoensis is unlike other more common peruvian forms in that it is very potent, more potent then both super pedro and the long spined bridgesii. (well at least thats what a freind has been dreaming anyway) Theres some photographs on their way, but probably a couple of weeks away. And this cacti has definately been making a 'buzz' for me since early january when we first stumbled accross it... Definately a smooth rider Good to hear the melbournites are shaking there booties to the cosmic heights of the solar recieving green phallic omnipotent ones cosmic indeed!

AndyAmine. Posted October 7, 2006 I saw some Cuzco/kk242'ish looking cuts at nimbin HHH the other day, first time Ive seen them there and its supposed to be very potent, perhaps this is the one your talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately many of the original botanical names have long since been lost, so most cuttings just go by a rough "that looks like this" case of identification. As such there have been a number of questionable IDs made thus far, will post pictures once they're all growing for better identification purposes. I'm not sure i've seen this cuzcoensis variety you mention, tho in all likelihood i have. Some photos would help for an ID. There has been much cosmicity in the wake of all this cosmic cacti being brought onto the market, it's good to see, wave after wave after wave after wave of divine cosmos! I love cacti!

Tripitaka Posted October 11, 2006 Hey PD! Could you tell us a bit more on these two, i.e. source location, history, anecdotes etc. Would love to put it on record and label my plants accordingly. Beautiful plants by the way! or more like this one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
