hostilis Posted May 2, 2014 Hello everyone. I have an echinopsis "dominos" that is pushing out 3 flowers right now. From what I recall you can cross echinopsis with trichocereus. (Is that accurate?) So, if anyone has some awesome trichocereus species pollen let me know!! Anything works, but if there it was something like validus or terscheckii or scopulicola that'd be awesome. But i would settle for pachanoi or peruvianus. They just started forming so I figure i have about a month or so to get some pollen. I will give seeds from the cross to whoever helps me out with this. Thanks! hostilis 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted May 2, 2014 If I get a hold of anything I will send some your way, I have a E. dominos I got from Home Depot last year that is on the verge of flowering as well. Going to check around at work and hopefully a PC pedro will donate some pollen to see if this works I assume if I can't get any tricho pollen another Echinopsis would suffice?

hostilis Posted May 3, 2014 Yep. I'd prefer some trichocereus pollen though. The echinopsis/tricho hybrids are pretty awesome looking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted May 3, 2014 Oh, I was talking about for mine. I would definitely prefer to cross with a tricho as well, but mine is about to flower so not sure if the stars will align for this one. If I come across any open tricho flowers at work, I'll send some your way Here's my domino as of 5 minutes ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah. One flower showed up on mine at first. Now there's two more. I think maybe 1 or 2 more might be on the way too. There's a bit of fuzz on a couple more areoles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted May 3, 2014 Here's a couple pictures. The two newest buds are just tiny little tips right now and the other one is bigger. Hopefully more will show up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EthnoGuy85 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I'm a long way from blooms but I've got some fuzz starting on a monstrose nonPC pachanoi. If you have blooms still going by then I'll shoot you some pollen. Edited May 3, 2014 by EthnoGuy85 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) DUDE!!!! That would be fucking amazing!!!!! How long till you see pollen do you think? And also, if mine flowers first would you accept some pollen from my plant and use yours as the mother? Then you could give me a couple seeds from it or something. If you'd rather cross it with another trich I'd understand. Just wondering. Edited May 3, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EthnoGuy85 Posted May 3, 2014 I'm hoping to get some scopulicola or some other rare Tricho pollen for it like huarazensis, argentinsis, huancoensis or a nice true pachanoi. If I can't do that I may try with an Echinopsis tho I do appreciate the offer. As far as a timeline I've no idea. This will be my first Tricho to bloom, assuming I don't screw anything up ;) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted May 3, 2014 Under the right conditions, you can keep pollen viable for months, if not years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zelly Posted May 10, 2014 i dont read the trade forum very often, but i have some pink flowered echinopsis you might like to cross with....btw, i refer to your echinopsis as 'nudem' or subdenuda, and they typically have white flowers. I've bunches of these pink types, and they been blooming now for a couple of weeks. recently i crossed a variegated echinopsis (pink & white flower) with the pink flowering echinopsis type......and now have a fruit on the variegated echinopsis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I wish I would have read this earlier. The flower closed today. I was supposed to be getting some trich pollen but it never came and it just finished flowering today. Edited June 5, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
