DocAzz Posted March 14, 2007 found a couple more today... ID please, kind people! Looks like this baby is about to start flowering! Does that help with the ID by looking at the flower pods?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tonic Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) How goes it Az mate? That one is Cereus peruvianus. Nope the flower buds arent really necessary with this one. A pretty straight forward ID with this one every time. Edited March 14, 2007 by tonic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MORG Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Are you sure the second one's a C. peruvianus? The ribs look a little thick from the distant pic. I'd like to see a closer photo. First is definitely a C. peruvianus though. Edit: Scratch that, I think you're probably right. Edited March 14, 2007 by MORG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 DocAzz Posted March 14, 2007 it seems that these are the only ones in the area. For a quick spotters guide, how do the San Pedro's differ from the ones I've shot today? What should I be looking for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What should I be looking for? The thin ribs are a dead giveaway for Cereus ID Azz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 BlackDragon Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) And the segmentation of the lenghts.... Some macros show this but they are easily distinguished too, much rounder/fatter profile. Yep, the thin ribs and that general pinky tinge to the unpened flower buds, and no hair on the flower buds(last time i looked) are easy traits to recognise that point to c.peruvianus.
