watertrade Posted May 24, 2009 I know a few people have the same plant as this one.

0 strangebrew Posted May 24, 2009 Possibly a cuscoensis? I never thought peruvianus spines turned grey so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 PD. Posted May 25, 2009 Capital cactus and succulents.... the dude dont have a page anymore, cost him too much, he does have a list still tho, ill try get a link to it soon if anyone interested. Once those lil babies get in the ground and get growing the spines seem to settle a bit and lose a bit of length, def look peruvi of sorts. Another 4 or so years growth will be the teller.

0 J Smith Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for reminding me PD. I stumbled across that nursery a couple of months ago and I now realise I never got around to sending them an e-mail to see what they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 cactophyle Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Maybe it is just the top down photos deceiving me, but I do not believe it is a cuzcoensis. Most notably: The areoles appear to be raised and thick and I haven't seen a cuzcoensis with that trait. The roseii (which I've never actually seen before) in the picture above has very similar areoles, but it has fewer spines and they are red. Chilensis has similar areoles and white spines of about the same count, but in a different arrangement. Edited May 25, 2009 by cactophyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
