interbeing Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone, just lettin you know I've got a couple of good lookin T. macrogonus mid-cuttings up for auction over at Swap N Sell These cuts come from a very hardy specimen, only gettin morning sun due to being planted right between a shed and an enormous T. knuthianus/kubianus plant. Some arms had actually grown into the knuthianus bush and popped out the other side - this guy just keeps goin and going! As for the name Bendy thats more of a reference to this guy's home, as opposed as singling it out as a unique strain of macrogonus, not to imply this one aint in a league of its own though (yet to bioassay) Strike rates for seed from this same plant are up in the 90+ percentile, so you can bet on good genetics. PM if you'd like some seed (pretty fresh, just a couple months) from this one too. If you'd like anymore info on the cuts or their mother ask away 30cm mid cut 31cm mid cut Edited July 4, 2009 by interbeing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiral Posted July 2, 2009 If there is one cactus that confuses me is macrogonus...how can macrogonus have such large spines and some have such smaller ones like I mean a lot smaller...surely that cactus is Cuzcoensis is it not or can macro come in 2 varieties... T. Macrogonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted July 2, 2009 Looks like a macro to me Basing your ID of a plant by comparing a tiny tip cutting to old growth logs is gon do your head in Hunab. Like has been said here a million times, the same plant can look completely different depending on growing conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted July 2, 2009 Yeah I kinda was hoping you would come and set things straight about that but perhaps this aint the thread to do it in...your post in the "how to identify a macrogonus" thread post 18 is yours pass and your cactus look typically like my cutting...I guess I should stop trying to correctly ID this one for a while because Gilligan sent me a beautiful 30cm cutting of a macro and the fuggen spines are like 100mm long and really white...I was like WTF...how this be the same as my small cutting which in it's defense is a cutting off a long arm...anyways I'll shut up now...sorry for the mini hijack guys..as you were.

interbeing Posted July 2, 2009 hey man is that the same plant you and mu gave me a cutting off? the one and the same VS! how'd you go with that cut did you plant it out already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H. Im still unsure of the correct ID of the plant i posted pics of in the macro thread hunab (is the plant i label J1 btw), it was more just to show how different conditions can affect a plants appearance.

PM if you'd like some seed (pretty fresh, just a couple months) from this one too. What size were the flowers, any photo's? If it has regular sized Tricho flower's it doesn't deserve the title really. Edited July 2, 2009 by strangebrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

interbeing Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) One down, one to go folks! 31cm mid cut SOLD! 30cm mid cut Edited July 4, 2009 by interbeing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interbeing Posted July 4, 2009 What size were the flowers, any photo's? If it has regular sized Tricho flower's it doesn't deserve the title really. There were a couple flowers around summertime and yes they did seem a bit smaller than regular tricho flowers, about 70% of the size of wat you'd expect from a run of the mill pedro. If i can dig up some photos soon i will post them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I second that mate got 3 Rosei that look like different cacti but it is just growing conditions that cause the variation.

Dear Interbeing, I know it was a long time ago, what do you remember about this clone if anything? I find myself living very close to another suburb colloquially known as 'Bendy' down here on the South Coast, NSW. I sometimes pass a cactus garden in Bendy, I wonder if this clone come from this suburb and potentially this garden I've seen, can you confirm? I obviously don't plan on doing a 'Change' style robbery (the poooor cunt ) so don't freak out, I just want to door knock, the current owners might not even be the same people, has been nearly a decade. Impressive plant none the less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Skellum, This one came from Dawson's in Bendigo, Victoria Most likely the same clone as the macrogonus from the Field collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
