0 Stillman Posted December 4, 2011 Do you think the first one could be a Cleistocactus species? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted December 4, 2011 Your 'euphobia' could be a Lophocereus schottii monstrose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 4, 2011 I wish it was, but if you look at the lower pup it has little leaves. It does have a loph like appearance which is what caught my eye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 4, 2011 I have a feeling its an Euphorbia caput-medusae var or close relative, but definitely unusual, its not like the usual E caput- medusae that I have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sir Jeans Posted December 4, 2011 Do you think the first one could be a Cleistocactus species? That's what I was thinking based on the appearance of the fruit., but I'm certainly no expert on the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 silvesterdrinkthebeers Posted December 4, 2011 I think that Euphorbia like one is a Monadenium. Probably this one.. http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/MONADENIUM/Monadenium_ritchiei/Monadenium_ritchiei/Monadenium_ritchiei.htm The site describes it as beautiful and desirable. I got no idea about the other ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted December 4, 2011 Nice find. Number 1 is Bolivicereus Samaipatanus. Second one is extremely cool. Would love to know what it is... bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 4, 2011 the succulent looks definitely like Monadenium ritchiei ssp. nyambense. Thanks heaps EG and SDB cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Cereusly Posted December 5, 2011 Bolivicereus samaipatanus is synonymous with Cleistocactus samaipatanus. That being said I have one and I don't think the plant pictured is a samaipatanus. Are the flowers wilting in the picture? Some Cleistocactus flowers look closed even when they are open. The aereolas look a lot darker on this one, and the spines are different; longer, not as uniform, and not as bright. I think the aereolas can become darker with age on samaipatanus. I think it is Cleistocactus baumannii. Of course you can decide for yourself http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Cleistocactus&species=baumannii http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Cleistocactus&species=samaipatanus I agree with the ID on the Monadenium. I gave one away as a present once and thought it was most interesting. The third one looks like a Chamalobivia hybrid. A Echinopsis chamacereus and Lobivia sp. hybrid commonly called peanut cactus. Fast growing clumpers with attractive colorful flowers. http://www.cactuspedia.info/schede/CHAMAELOBIVIA/photo_gallery_chamealobivia.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 chilli Posted December 5, 2011 Your 'euphobia' could be a Lophocereus schottii monstrose? Definitely not, but if anyone has one of these I will pay through the teeth for a cutting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ∂an Posted December 5, 2011 Went out this morning and picked up a couple nice things, This one is about 40cm and flowering I have no idea what it is. ... I love the markets everything but the lithops was $2.50 each. West End markets? There used to be a guy selling trichos once, its all a bit too regulated now days though.

0 Stillman Posted December 5, 2011 the flowers in the first pick are very wilted the plant was very very dry, everything has stood up a bit since I watered. Once a new flower opens I will post a pic. Kalika I used to have a stall at west end for a bit selling chilli sauce, but these were found at Caboulture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 5, 2011 Cereusly I think you could have it. I will wait for some new flowers to open then take some pics. Is this species self fertile I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Cereusly Posted December 6, 2011 Cereusly I think you could have it. I will wait for some new flowers to open then take some pics. Is this species self fertile I wonder? I'm almost positive the majority if not all Cleistocactus are self fertile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 10, 2011 Took some pics of the new open flowers this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 10, 2011 I think it may be a hybrid but the flowers seem more like C. samaipatanus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
