[pinegapcontrol]

Hi all, just looking for some opinions on this.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

i think its cereus peruvianus but im not entirely sure,

thanks in advance.

[paradox]

hmm, hard to tell. some shitty photos, but by the look of the close up of the spines & ribs i'd say it may not be cereus peruvianus but rather some kind of peruvianoid trichocereus.

pretty hard to tell though

looks promising

[ballzac]

The photos aren't great, but it looks like Trichocereus cuzcoensis to me.

[pinegapcontrol]

Thanks for quick response The ribs are the main thing that keep me wondering, but to me the spines look pretty C. Peruvian. its a conundrum! oh well ive got 30 mins to decide if i want to spend 100 bucks on a guess.

[pinegapcontrol]

Would you say its definately NOT C. Peruvianus? im always glad to get something new but ive got more C.Peruvianus than i know what to do with.

[ballzac]

They really are pretty terrible pics, but I would be extremely confident in saying it is Trichocereus of some sort.

[pinegapcontrol]

Thanks heaps for the input dudes, the pics are shocking, not my doing. In the begining there was just the first pic, I had to request the other two.

[paradox]

i couldn't say 100% but i'm pretty sure it's not Cereus. good luck with it, hope it's a score

Sold for 150 to someone else. bit out of my price range. Ah well, at least it didnt get bulldozed.

Bugger, because that was definitely a Trich. Peruvianus.

[pinegapcontrol]

Bugger bugger bugger!!

Nice cactus, but it's unlikely that it has much, if any, entheogenic value, so don't feel too bad.

[pinegapcontrol]

Its all good, maybe that was a bit dramatic. entheogenic value, while a consideration, is not my main concern, Im just always on the lookout for new additions.

lol..that's funny..it's not a cereus but the vendor is saying it is...soooo often the cactus are misinterpreted on e-bay.

[pinegapcontrol]

Ha, thats funny. I know that seller, he bought a fair whack of cereus peruvianus from me about a year ago.
