0 ballzac Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) The first one looks like peruvianus 'icaro'. Though I'm not sure cos the only one I have is still tiny, but looks like it. The second is cuzcoensis or peruvianus depending on who you ask. No idea on the last one Edited April 21, 2008 by ballzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 toby Posted April 21, 2008 The first one looks like a macrogonus i think, the last one looks like one i got from vlado the seed guy a few years ago.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Coschi Posted April 21, 2008 Just to add The first one came from Garden World in Edithvale, Melbourne. The guy i spoke to is the guy who id's all theirs and seems very knowledgeable (bit of a know it all though). He spoke about id'ing primarily with the flowers which made good sense at the time The second one came from Happy High Herbs in Collingwood, Melbourne. It was labelled t.peruvianus The third one was a cut i was given and was told it was t.macrogonus. What reinforces this is that about a year ago i picked up some sections from HHH labelled t.macrogonus which are identical to this one. Here's a pic I took of that one back then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ballzac Posted April 21, 2008 If it was labelled T. peruvianus at HHH, then it's probably an echinocactus or an opuntia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 George Posted May 6, 2008 Your firs specimen looks alot like the one I managed to collect here. It might be wishfull thinking but MS Smith seems to think it is a collected specimen as per this image http://flickr.com/photos/msscacti/13875306...57600838061649/ Should it be a mix breed it must have been around now for a couple of years now judging by the size of this pappa tree I found on this dude's farm. So much for dudes claiming the seed var's are their doing. They are beutifull never the less and I grabbed some more cuttings from the dude the moment I saw the specimen with the 9+ ribs. The bigger tree has only 7 ribbed trunks. Also, check out this page then click on "complete list" http://www.sacredcactus.com/peruvian_torch12.htm Check out nr 6 and 7 in his list. He mentions glaucus as his last option but I think glaucus was a mislabelled ball shaped cactus that got mixed up on the truck.(I suspect the collector gave a bunch of indians a lift, while having a truck load of mesc cacti cuttings. Not a good idea. LOL!!!) Both MS Smith and SacredCacti seems to think that it deserves the label T.peruvanius atleast but I guess know one knows forsure. I'd like to think that Karel collected the specimen from the wild in this form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 chilli Posted May 11, 2008 That first one is awesome, are the spines that red in real life? Some kind of peruvian, surely... from what I recall, it looks very similar to a cutting I was going to buy off Rev a couple years back, before he burned it do death. Second one looks exactly like a KK242/cuzcoensis. The third one I thought was a knuthianus, but it looks sort of rounded, but I think it may be a. because it's juvenile and getting fatter and b. exacerbated by the camera lens.
