Evil Genius Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys, my current camera is a pain in the ass but i decided to take some pics and share some plants. Not only cacti but i didnt want to open a diffrent thread for the 2-3 regular plant pics. KK242 Backebergs Grafting Pachanoi. The one in the background was sold to me as a Trichocereus Glaucus and came originally from knize btw Peruvianus RS004 - Cheers to Osprey! Trichocereus Macrogonus "Blue Velvet" Interesting Double-Spination! The Spination looks a little bit like "Yowie" in some way Cross between Pilosocereus x Trichocereus Peruvianus Spiny Wild Pachanoi from JLH - very cool Plant! Probably Trichocereus Macrogonus Echinopsis Hybrid from Bob Schick thats about to flower. Puyas from the SS Field Trip to Peru. I really love them. Dwarf Ephedra Species from the first SS Field Trip to Peru. Hybrid between Trichocereus Bridgesii and Trichocereus Huanucoensis. Looks very promising so far. Trichocereus Uyumpaensis - Strong regrowth after a very bad snail attack! Edited July 9, 2011 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted July 9, 2011 Nice, thanks for sharing! That T. macrogonus 'Blue Velvet' is gorgeous. Where'd the Pilocereus x Trichocereus hybrid come from? never heard of those two genera being crossed before. Love the dwarf Ephedra sp.! Did they say which species it might have been?

bit Posted July 9, 2011 Nice EG :D Where'd the Pilocereus x Trichocereus hybrid come from? never heard of those two genera being crossed before. Indeed I didn't think such a cross was possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks guys! I took a whole lot more but i had to trash most of them because of the crappy camera. I´ll take some more later today. Did they say which species it might have been? I think they suspect it being Ephedra Rupestris but im not sure about that. Indeed I didn't think such a cross was possible? Me neither. I was very surprised when i heard about that cross...i got it from a cactus nursery that is now closed. They were specialised in crossing unusual cacti.

zelly Posted July 10, 2011 Puyas from the SS Field Trip to Peru. I really love them. Let's see how much you love them when you start transplanting them and they get really mature. I've a Puya berteroniana that has the most wicked 'fish hooks' you can imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prier Posted July 10, 2011 nice plants. um, it's impossible to cross ehinopsis and pilosocereus, they're not even in the same tribe. that nursery was pulling ya leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CβL Posted July 10, 2011 Nice. :D Can't wait to see those peruvianus and macrogonus fill out into big columns. That 'Blue Velvet' is something alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Genius Posted July 12, 2011 Let's see how much you love them when you start transplanting them and they get really mature. I've a Puya berteroniana that has the most wicked 'fish hooks' you can imagine. Havent thought about that yet. Well, we´ll see how our relationship (puya and me) developes. If they´ll really become that stingy, my love could slow down rapidly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
