mutant Posted September 16, 2011 I agree about the peruvianoids, but the 2nd might be considered closer to cuzco maybe? I am not sure though, it too looks peruv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bℓσωηG Posted September 18, 2011 ol who was the cheeky bugger who sent you that ae?cool plant. i also brought a couple of absolutely beautiful pups from that blue monster, will post pics of mine at a later date but yes your plant very well could be the same one Hi bogfrog...no,no it was my cousin peaches , who was gifted two pups from two different NZ clones sourced in Orepuke from Fabricio Sanchez (a semi famous guitar player from Brazil ) who after receiving two mid cuts from some very nice folk from Orepuke carried the cuts safely in his guitar case to Australia (way back when shit like that wasn't an issue) MORE HERE: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25021&pid=266512&st=0entry266512 Since i moved this one into a more sunny position the true nature of its spines have become apparent (bottom photo it the top main stem where you can see where there were once smaller spines... haven't chopped her yet because im hoping she will flower this year, fingers crossed.

Good story, I knew I had heard about your NZ Trichos before It does look quite similar, you never know. Damn, Orepuki is in the wop wops. Places like that where you could grow Trichocereus in the front yard without someone molesting them. Don't get excited blowng I mean chopping em down. edit: just saw your comment, prier. I'm sure there was a thread here from a while back with photos of heaps of big pachanoi bushes. On the west coast somewhere, the grower had passed away or something.

bℓσωηG Posted September 19, 2011 Don't get excited blowng I mean chopping em down. ..but ... but wouldn't caressing them lovingly ,probing tenderly around each aerole in the absence of prying eyes be much more exciting ? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solomon Posted October 17, 2011 It's my pleasure to introduce "Quentin" NZ's first melted wax bridgesii? Seed grown by a friend. This is just a cutting, the mother is in the ground in my back yard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amylase Posted October 19, 2011 Very appropriate name, Props to the person who raised 'em from seeds, a champion! Good steal Centipede, I am truly jealous, doesn't happen too often . How big was the plant and have you considered grafting the tip to a bigger tricho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted October 19, 2011 There are some really beautiful plants in this thread. Nice to see you have some good diversity in NZ. I still wish I had managed to bring back that monstrose looking peruvianus seedling I saw in a supermarket in Wellington at the beginning of the year (I can't remember the name of it, but it's one of the major ones in NZ).

bogfrog Posted October 19, 2011 lol what you should have told me and i would have got my dad to go to the supermarket and buy it haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted October 19, 2011 I should have. Next time I will for sure. That plant was far too interesting to end up in some non-collector's garden who wouldn't even have appreciated it monstrosity. I was surprised you could buy cacti at a supermarket!

bogfrog Posted October 19, 2011 when i was little i used to get cacti from the supermarket as my weekly treat instead of lollies. my parents always fed me 'hippy food' as i used to call it, but now i think that was a lovely alternative to crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getafix Posted October 27, 2011 Centipede I feel honoured that you named that melted wax Bridgesii after me, couldn't believe it when i saw my name there! Can't really take too much credit, germinated the seed and there it was. When you get a chance would love to see some of the other plants I sold you in ther new home.
