0 ballzac Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Doesn't look like terscheckii to me. I've never seen a blue terscheckii, and although the outer spines look terscheckioid, the central ones look too long. It's got something in common with cuzco and tercheckioid forms imho. Can't offer any help other than that, and for all I know others might chip in and say that there IS a particular terscheckii strain that looks like that.

0 CβL Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've never seen a blue terscheckiiSounds like a challenge. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lhb2444 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah I wasn't convinced myself hence the post, I saw a post someone made about a cuzco ID the other day and it had very similar features to this one but still slightly different. Thanks for the speedy reply anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Khala Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Cool looking plant, interesting/complicated arrangement. I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tripsis Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It looks like Browningia hertlingiana to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Evil Genius Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Its not Lupus!lhb, i´m pretty sure Tripsis is right. Doesnt look like Terscheckii at all. Just take a look at the german wiki page! Thats probably it: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browningia_hertlingiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PD. Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Tripsis is on the money.A nice plant imo, a slow grower from what i have seen, my one seems to get a lil rot if too moist in winter though it is in the ground, semi shaded. Im sure in a better position it could grow a little faster but it doesnt seem to have the same vigour as the trichos next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lhb2444 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks everyone, Tripsis the Browningia hertlingiana certainly seems to fit the bill. I haven't ever heard of one before but its definitely one of my favourite cacti from my collection. Love its spines!PD mines getting a fair amount of water at the moment so I'm glad mentioned they don't like it to wet I think i'll move it accordingly.

0 bogfrog Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) it is azureocereus hertlingianus by my eye.but that could synonymous with Browningia hertlingianae. Edited June 5, 2011 by bogfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
