Sola Posted December 3, 2010 Can't believe it but many people don't want our prickly friends in their yards . BTW it's good for me, I'm stoked would've taken ages to get to this size. One is definitely Echinocereus grusonii/ Golden Barrel Cactus and there are a couple of succulents. The others are still a bit of a mystery but loved none the less . Thought people might want to take a look and tell me what they are. Thanks Sola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Micromegas Posted December 3, 2010 Holy cow, nice find sola. looks like you're living in good cactus growing country too. Couple of scops there and a pc pedro and the golden barrel as noted. that wonky looking huge mofo is i believe a prostrate form of t.tersheckii or at least i have this same plant by the looks of it, it has trich flowers but grows along the ground massively fat. the succulent name escapes me a epiphytic cactus perhaps? similar to dragon fruit. what amazes me is that a golden barrel of that size is $100 in a nursery at least and people give away for free praise the lord. nice one.

0 Sola Posted December 3, 2010 I'm amazed too, all I had to do was remove the stuff and it was all mine. Probably cost two dollars in fuel for the lot. Thanks for the ID mate, still waiting on flowers apart from the columnar near the Golden Barrel that flowered just after transplanting huge white flowers. Forgot to mention.
