NorthernComfort Posted June 20, 2008 Greetings. I picked up these cacti from a local garden center. Only the one was labeled and I'd like to verify that one and then ID the other two. Unknown #1 ...... This one looks familiar to me, but I'll be damned if I can recall even the specie name. Unknown #2 ...... I thought this one was an Ariocarpous when I saw it but now I'm not so sure.... And then there is this one. Label states Trichocereus grandifloris 'Hybrid'.......... What do you guys think?

0 Teotzlcoatl Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) 1) Gymnocalycium spp. 2) Evil Genius is right, I think it's Echinopsis Subdedantum. 3) Is probably what the lable says. Those are my best guess, don't take them ask fact. Edited June 24, 2008 by Teotz' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Evil Genius Posted June 21, 2008 Hi Northerncomfort! The No2 is Echinopsis Subdedantum! bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Teotzlcoatl Posted June 24, 2008 Damn! I was WAAAAY off! I've never even seen that cactus before! Strange... I assume it gets much bigger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted June 24, 2008 Fuck me! I must have been drugged! Or drunk. Or both. It has to be "subdenudata"! What a Typo! Seems like you have to write another label! bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Teotzlcoatl Posted June 26, 2008 Ah yes... ok makes more sense now. Good ID Evil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted June 27, 2008 #1 looks like Gymnocalycium baldianum, a somewhat common plant in collections. #2 looks a tad bit more like an immature Echinocereus subinermis to me rather than Echinopsis subdenudata. The two look a lot alike and the flower will answer it. The former will have yellow flowers with a spiney flower stem while the latter will have white flowers with a hairy stem. #3 is probably an Echinopsis hybrid as these are extremely common. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 herbologist Posted June 29, 2008 I'm a cacti id noob but I have a cactus the same as #2 little spines and all and it was labeled Echinopsis semidenudata, should have a white flower if it gets heaps of light. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 NorthernComfort Posted July 8, 2008 #1 looks like Gymnocalycium baldianum, a somewhat common plant in collections. The Gymnocalycium spp. has flowered. The flower is only open in the daytime and is a red/pinkish flower. Really beautiful! I'll post some pics up soon. Also has 4 other 'buds' forming....more flowers to come!
