bit Posted December 12, 2006 Quite a looker you have there Congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Posted December 12, 2006 Very nice there Moses, any ideas on species name? I have something similar at home, though it only grows to about a foot tall and clumps like mad. Never seen flowers though (had the bugger for a good 10 years now...) but that could be cos it's in a pot. BTW, nice looking pedro in the background! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moses Posted December 12, 2006 Very nice there Moses, any ideas on species name? I have something similar at home, though it only grows to about a foot tall and clumps like mad. Never seen flowers though i think t.spachianus reckon i got the short one your talking about too, flowers red but a lot smaller than the pictured cactus (had the bugger for a good 10 years now...) but that could be cos it's in a pot. mines been in a pot that long too,bigger pot though BTW, nice looking pedro in the background! thats just a pot with a couple of pups drying off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Posted December 13, 2006 What you're talking about sounds just like t.schickendantzii Similar (going off the pics in google), but somewhat different. I'll have to take a couple happy-snaps for show and tell in the next few days to see if anyone can ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jactus Posted December 15, 2006 Similar (going off the pics in google), but somewhat different. I'll have to take a couple happy-snaps for show and tell in the next few days to see if anyone can ID. I have a similar specimen as you described Ace, mine is T.grandiflora. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDragon Posted December 15, 2006 Yep, 1 foot and clumping, with red flowers is t.granifloria, or t.huasca, there are many names for it... even Christmas flower cactus(as it flowers generally around chrissy time, although mine ar not this year). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Posted December 17, 2006 Hmmm... my specimen appears to have about the same amount of traits for both the spach and the grandiflorus... Maybe I have a Grandispach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
