0 ballzac Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, even with the blurry photo and the tiny knob, it's unmistakable. You'll soon find that it shoots another knob off the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Bush Turkey Posted October 16, 2008 thanks!!! do ya know wat these are??? The latest two pics are of pretty sad looking Pilosocereus azureus. they are two seperate cacti! active??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 incognito Posted October 16, 2008 im guessing they do light-cardio at least 3 times a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Ace Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) they are two seperate cacti! active??? Yep both look to be P. azureus. However on closer inspection of the second pic, there looks to be a Mammillaria gracilis (snowflake cactus) areole grafted to it Seems quite humourous considering how rampant those things get around here - tough as guts and seem to be in every garden store across the country If by active you mean psychoactive (and/or hallucinogenic), no - P. azureus do not contain the same alkaloids as the Trichocereus or Lophophora genuses. Some Mammillaria species have been used as peyote substitues (dont think M. gracilis is one though) - see (dare I say it?? ) Teotz's thread about 'Lost Peyotes' for info about the lesser known 'active' species. To get them P. azureus back up to scratch before they die a slow and painful death (apologies to their carers!), reduce watering immediately, put in a part-shaded location and allow themselves to put out fresh new blue-coloured growth. Google image search for the species to see how they should look Edit - PMSL Incog :D Edited October 16, 2008 by Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 ballzac Posted October 16, 2008 None that I know of. Nice cactus though. I believe people use them as grafting stock too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. Posted October 16, 2008 1, trich, not too sure which. Could do with some tlc. 2, Oreocereus, old man 3, myrtillo 4 and 5, T. peruish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ballzac Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) 1, trich, not too sure which. Could do with some tlc.2, Oreocereus, old man 3, myrtillo 4 and 5, T. peruish If 1 is a trich it is seriously dehydrated. Still looks more like cereus to me, but as I said before, not sure (EDIT, just had another look, and it does look too plump for cereus). Oreocereus crossed my mind for 2 but I never seen one with so few hairs, is that a sign of neglect? Edited October 16, 2008 by ballzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
