0 Micromegas Posted December 24, 2012 The first is azureocereus sp. (hertlinglianus?) in good health these are very blue and can grow quite large. the second is an echinopsis. the third may be a mammillaria of some kind (compressa?). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 24, 2012 Cacti 3 looks like it would have been very difficult to dig up lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Theres a Variety of the Azureocereus hertlingianus called viridis; means its rather green than blue. Could be this one. Edited December 24, 2012 by Evil Genius 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Snowfella Posted December 24, 2012 Cacti 3 I'd call Mammillaria compressa, got one growing away in an outdoors bed here and it's pupping like mad. With riht conditions it will given time form a large clump of heads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted December 24, 2012 The Pilosocereus is awesome, very pretty!! Echinopsis must be subdenudata. Hey, is this dude pissing behind the Notocactus ?? Check out N.warasii and N.leninghausii. warasii is between leninghausii and magnificus but faster grower than either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 CβL Posted December 25, 2012 I thought number 3 looked a bit like Mammillaria Campotricha, but I'm out of practice at IDing Mammillarias, so could be way off. Mammillaria Campotricha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jox Posted December 27, 2012 Well thanks for all the feed back . HA HA, the dude pissing is my son! I didn't even see him until mutant pointed it out & to make it better he's busted wearing his sisters pink, high heel thongs!!! I have been looking at photos of M. compressa & have found some pics that look very similar, but I can't find any areoles with more than three spines on mine? In saying that I can't find a Mammillaria other than compressa that looks the same, I had this one labeled as M. compressa, is it just a short spined verity or something else? Cheers for the help!! jox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Evil Genius Posted January 5, 2013 Yes thats Azureocereus/Browningia Hertlingianus. Diffrent variety though. Note the totally diffrent color. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
