It only flowers from the base.. Which is odd enough, then consider the fact that its still winter, night time temps around 1-2degrees at my place.

I also found heaps of seed pods full of viable seeds around the soil level and several self-seeded babies :)

These seeds are throwing like 95% variegates and albinos.. Honestly.

Most of them die very young because they cant produce chlorophyll.

The seeds were exposed to extreme cold while ripening, I think it fucked them somehow.

Most just look like this grafted one

I must have had the same seed , 100% albinos, but i lost most of them cos had no peres for grafting , i managed to graft one only and have a few stunted ones struggling on their own roots if they make it through the cold i will graft this coming season.

From me?

They are pretty odd-ball eh.

I don't understand it, but they do graft well.

I had probably around 100 albino seedlings which I had to watch die one by one because I had no peres <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_sad.png

Nice!

I think the T. spachianus is responsible for the variegation and albino traits - I got some open pollinated Roseii #1 seed and some look like spachainus, and most of the lot were variegated or albino - the Roseii was nearby a large spachainus stand..

Sacred succulents lists a clone a and b crest for Pach. They have a listed as having short columns with a fanned crest while b tends to be brain or coral shaped and stay low, generally not having a column at all.

A nice new addition to show you all, Cereus something monstrose/cristate. I have not seen one like this before, I have a few monstrose Cereus which grow tall knobbly columns & I have a cristate Cereus which stays short & think & almost looks melted. Any this one stands at 160cm & is a BEAUTIFUL cactus despite being a huge pain in the ass to pot up by myself, here are some photos.

A group photo, show the size of this Cereus (it is at the back on the left hand side)

Here is another of my little gems, I grafted this little L.koehresii on the 2/1/13 as a seedling. When I did the graft it was half red & half pale green (perfectly split down the middle by the two colours), it has turned into a lovely specimen.
