0 occidentalis Posted November 10, 2006 I'm sure there are thousands of reasons why this name is not the right one, but this looks like what is commonly called Echinopsis peruviana (previously Trich peruvianus). Possibly KK242. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Merkaba Posted November 10, 2006 hmmm....are peruvians sometimes not bitter? ive noticed that peruvians aren't as bitter tasting compared to pedros and especially bridges'... this one is basically not bitter... does bitterness explain alot ?? thanks!

0 wandjina Posted November 10, 2006 AK47? Gee i dunno guys, judging by the spines I'd say it's a R2D2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 mr b.caapi Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) yep. kk242. ive got one in my yard thats looks just like it. ( zero- mediocre bitterness) Edited November 10, 2006 by mr b.caapi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted November 10, 2006 (Here's what I said at The Nook.) Yeah, I'd say it was the original, though mislabeled, KK242 form that I've referred to as "T. peruvianus(T. cuzcoensis?)". It certainly doesn't appear that this plant has had any ethnobotanical use in the San Pedro cults, and for good reason. These are clearly some of the most beautiful of plants when grown well. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
