lhb2444 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Anyone know what this is, i've had a look around and think it may be a trichocereus tersheckii, but thats a fairly uneducated guess. Any help ID'ing would be appreciated. Regards. Edited June 3, 2011 by lhb2444 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ballzac 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 I've never seen a blue terscheckii Sounds like a challenge. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 lhb2444 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Khala Posted June 3, 2011 Cool looking plant, interesting/complicated arrangement. I'm stumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted June 3, 2011 It looks like Browningia hertlingiana to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 lhb2444 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bogfrog 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
