2XB Posted January 21, 2014 Hello everyone; Well I love this forum and have gotten so much out of it, I thought it'd be time to say hi. I've used this forum mainly for its sheer volume of information, though about 6 mnths ago got jack of not being able to see any images because I wasnt a member... so I joined up. And then didnt get approved for ages ;). My luck to sign up when theres a site glitch haha. Anyway im a guy, married and young kids ;) I love cactus/ succulents and gardening in general. Ive been trying for a while the typical sth american jungle varieties and now acacia I've also received lots and lots of freebies from members I am keen to plant.! I love music and have been involved in music in some fashion for most or my life. As with my wife and hopefully my kids. Im more into producing now as I am too busy to practice my instruments.... On that note anyone wanting to record seqld I got a nice little home studio ;) While I'm advertising I do homemade hand painted guitar effects pedals. Or need something done in concrete??? Hahahaha I'm pretty into diy! Anyway. Hi! Ive met some of tje seqld crew already. I hope to meet more of you in the future.! Here's a bit of my wifes' and my garden, couple cool shots. Cant show too much of course! 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halif Posted January 22, 2014 Hey, welcome, and that was a great intro. I actually feel like there's a person behind the avatar for once. That's nice. And I'm pretty excited to hear more - maybe post something in the "creative" thread if you want some day - about your music work. I make electronic tunes with outdated software and a really nice 88 key controller/keyboard. For the last seven years I've been practising and just do it for the sheer love of it. Anyway, nice garden, too! Two months back I had to mouse out of a house in the suburbs into a two bedroom apartment with zero outdoor space. It was pretty painful selling off and giving away ALL of my plants, but thanks to forum member IndianDreaming it was actually a pain-free experience. That guy is a fucking saint, I tell you. Not only did he pay me well instead of taking advantage of the fact I had to move out in just two weeks and had no negotiating room, but he also offered to create cutting of nearly EVERY single plant he took so one day I can have baby versions of my original plants. There are some stellar members on this forum - you won't regret joining it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Doublebenno! Welcome welcome. Lovely garden you and your wifey have there! I was wondering if you could tell me the identity of the plant in the last photo you posted. Very cool looking! I would guess some rad kind of ephiphyllium? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jox Posted January 22, 2014 Welcome Doublebenno . @Ceres, that last photo is of a zigzag cactus of fish bone cactus, Selenicereus anthonanus. It gets very nice pink & white flowers. Cheers Jox 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2XB Posted January 23, 2014 Thank you all! The plant in that last photo is indeed a zig zag cactus but thought the real name was cryptocereus anthonyanus. Its a great plant and easily propogated. I could possibly sent a couple cuts if anyone wanted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jox Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Thank you all! The plant in that last photo is indeed a zig zag cactus but thought the real name was cryptocereus anthonyanus. Its a great plant and easily propogated. I could possibly sent a couple cuts if anyone wanted... Hey DB, it does go under that name as well but most places like Daves Garden, Wiki, Cactus Guide call it Selenicereus & say the name Cryptocereus is a synonym. To be honest I am not sure which name is most up to date but I have always known it as Selenicereus & the majority of sites I look at & the books I own call it Selenicereus. Anyways It is a cool looking plant to have in your collection & rewards you with awesome flowers. You have some nice plants & I am keen to see more photos from your garden .

mystical oyster Posted January 24, 2014 I have heard selenicereus is a good graft stock, would it be suitable for trich seedlings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
