0 myco Posted February 20, 2012 nice little score for $2 im no expert but to me it looks like a trich crest of some sort be interesting to see wat others have to say about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 dionysus Posted February 20, 2012 a young cereus sp monstruosa cristata i would guess, good find for 2 bucks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Moses Posted February 20, 2012 a young cereus sp monstruosa cristata i would guess, good find for 2 bucks yeah id second that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ErraneousHerbalist Posted February 20, 2012 I think we had a discussion on a similar looking cactus (Which I acquired ) and the general consensus was a Cereus of some sort due to the fluff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 DarkSpark Posted February 21, 2012 Oddly enough i cant find ANY pictures of a cereus crest that looks the same, edit: until i found this -http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/CEREUS/Cereus_sp/Cereus_sp_wild_crest/Cereus_sp_wild_crest.htm and believe me it was the first thing i looked up, She called them a brain cactus and said it will revert to columnar growth, supposedly, and only the pups stay crested or something.

0 2Deep2Handle Posted February 24, 2012 the cresting and reverting sounds ridiculously similar to my adult CPM's..... on the other not...no chance at all it could be a echinopsis oxygona baby? im still with CxM of some sort but thought id just chuck it out there Nice score indeed.....did Tim by one aswell? :D should have bought me one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) on the other not...no chance at all it could be a echinopsis oxygona baby? Hi 2Deep, i think we can rule out E. Oxygona because it does not have those thin brown spines. Spination is typical for a Cereus monstrose. Edited February 24, 2012 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Looks like a crested Cereus tetragonus cv. 'Fairy Castle'...if they even occur. http://www.cactussho...up.aspx?id=1472 ~Michael~ Edited February 24, 2012 by M S Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Yes there are some. But could be this one as well: http://davesgarden.c...howimage/78733/ Edited February 24, 2012 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted February 28, 2012 I dunno but I've got something with similar wispy spines. I reckon mine's a notocactus magnificus monstrose. I'd post a pic but I'm really embarrased that I let it get monstered by snails 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Thats sad, bit. Would love to see it. Did it flower yet? I´ve never seen a Notocactus Magnificus with white warts like that and i really think it is a cereus but i sure as hell wouldnt say its impossible the be something else. Its just more likely to be cereus because they are more common, have such warts, the same spines and a notocactus-crest that would produce such white warts would just be so diffrent from the regular growth. That must be one hell of a mutation. bye Eg Edited February 28, 2012 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted February 28, 2012 It could be some kind of mutated Notocactus Leninghausii though. I know theres a crested one out there that could potentially put out growth like this when young. Would love to see pics later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
