bℓσωηG Posted April 24, 2011 Fresh new growth on a pup from a beheaded columnar, which had a fat Tricho like body but the pups' ribs are much thinner (they may fill out)... the flesh was very yellow when cut... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 dreamscape Posted April 24, 2011 Well either way they are some cool looking almost luminescent red spines. None of my cacti have spines that bright. Very nice... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. Posted April 25, 2011 some sort of cereus, i suppose ya knew that much though. I got no idea when it comes to cereus ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bℓσωηG Posted April 25, 2011 When i first acquired this plant i almost thought it was some kind of bridgey...check the body shape on the older growth. I beheaded it because the tip was badly damaged , it took 2 years to pup again but the strangest thing about it was the bright yellow flesh exposed when i cut it...Ive never seen any cereus with similar flesh, but im sure there will be the word ''cereus'' somewhere in its' name if i ever find out what it is... maybe i'll google ''yellow fleshed columnar cactus'' ...

0 Philocacti Posted April 25, 2011 doesn't look like a cereus to me, although the 1st pic made me think it is one, but the rest of the pics seems to be Trichocereus. However, i such at IDing cacti Interesting specimen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 shortly Posted April 25, 2011 It looks a lot like a young Neoraimondia to me.They start out with lots of quite long beautiful fiery spines that turn grey with age. The mature branches often end up almost spineless but retain the prominent areoles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Gunter Posted May 1, 2011 it might be hybrid between two genera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted May 1, 2011 Good call on the Neoraimondia shortly. It's probably Neoraimondia herzogiana. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
