Snowfella Posted August 8, 2012 This one came labeled as Lobivia when I bought it last year, somehow starting to think it's about as far from Lobivia as you can get. Tricho of some sort? Unfortunately it had a rough time last summer and is also starting to grow out of it's cresting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 GoOnThen Posted August 8, 2012 I need to find myself one of these special Lobivia's. I think EG is on the money with the ID but that's a lot of pups for a smallish plant Cool plant definitely will be an interesting one to watch over the next 12 months Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 TheExplorer Posted August 8, 2012 Where did you buy it from mate? It looks a bit like a Hamilton's plant, so it could be a peru crest for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Snowfella Posted August 8, 2012 It's indeed a Hamilton's plant, funny though that they popped a Lobivia label in the pot. Then again I've bought Gymno's there with both Mammillaria and Echinocereus labels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Foo Posted August 8, 2012 The spines like peruvian to me. In any case that is a very nice plant!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 PD. Posted August 9, 2012 i reckon the hamiltons crest is more inline with cuzco from observation of grafted growth in more direct light, spination is telling. thats just me though. who knows really. Nice lil plant regardless of who thinks what! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Snowfella Posted August 9, 2012 Cheers guys. Hopefully it stays cresting and doesn't grow out of it any more that what it already has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
