bit Posted April 6, 2007 Ok, so I've practically been given this massive cactus. The only catch is I have to leave the garden tidy when I take it away (will require help!) Pic is really bad (have asked for a better one). Can you ID it though? I think maybe cereus peruvianus mostrose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 bit Posted April 6, 2007 it could be from the rare ultra blurry genus Heh, not really a rare genus that. At least can we establish that it's a cactus, not any other plant (euphorbia?)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 AndyAmine. Posted April 6, 2007 unless its a columner cactus in flower I would say its a euphorbia or something because of all the protrusions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted April 6, 2007 unless its a columner cactus in flower I would say its a euphorbia or something because of all the protrusions? Any idea what sort of euphorbia gets that big? Seems monstrose to me because of the protrusions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tonic Posted April 6, 2007 Looks alot like a Cereus sp. bit, if you can get a good photo am sure you will get a positive ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 AndyAmine. Posted April 6, 2007 hmm, Im not sure bit. but after a 2nd look, they definitely look like flower buds, I think the ones at the very top of the columns give it away., so you jst never know we may be looking at a monster tricho'/echino' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted April 6, 2007 Well looks like I'm off to collect this beasty tomorrow Have been informed it has lemony coloured flowers... so probably not tricho. Will be back with pix this time tomorrow!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
