magical9 Posted June 12, 2014 My main type of peruvianus that im stocking. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kapitän kamasutra Posted June 12, 2014 Interesting and beautifull plant, not what I would call 'standart peruvianus'. I have seen similar plants, and I have halfbaked theories what it might be like. I'd be interested what more knowledgeable guys here say about it. Was it seed grown? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magical9 Posted June 12, 2014 Not seed grown, i believe it came from bachs nursery in tucson decades ago. What would you consider this to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kapitän kamasutra Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I don't know....I think I have seen similar plants before, but I never knew their origin so never knew if wild collected plants or hybrids of different types. If it indeed is a speciem of a wild population from somewhere they fall in the 'inbetween subsp.pacha/peru/cuzco/-cotegory', for me. But just because I consider the 'true blue'(lol) as the peruvianus, and the 'short-spined-smaller-aroles-not-so glaucus' as the pachanoi. And the fat long jellowish fading to grey/white spine with wavy rib as the cuzco. The problem with this taxonomy is when there are original san pedros populations in between that range. Your plant is somewhere in between for me, and if it is wild collected, I'm not aware there is a propper name for this style of plant yet. you can choose between pachanoi and peruvianus under the curent taxonomy, or call it San pedro I guess On a second thought it might be a fat bridgesii, haha Edited June 12, 2014 by kapitän kamasutra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~shameless~ Posted June 13, 2014 The first thing I noticed about your cactus in the pic is that it seems to have to prominent spines from a lot of the aeriol's that I can see pictured , I have a Pachanoi that does that, I have observed that all of my varieties of so called Peruvians don't really have two prominent spines, I have only 4 different varieties of what a lot of people would call Peruvians though, Nice plant, looks a little bit different to all of my Peruvians.

DiscoStu Posted June 13, 2014 has that "golden hue" that a lot of bridgesii have, interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted June 13, 2014 How about a straight side shot? Just one would be fine. ~Michael~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magical9 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Here are the pics of the mother plant and the actual cutting before i rooted it. Maybe its a giant bridgesii.... Edited June 13, 2014 by magical9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~shameless~ Posted June 13, 2014 Appears to look like a Bridgesii before it looks like anything else, but I once genuinely thought a Roseii looked like a yowie, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZS Posted June 13, 2014 Looks a little like "centipede" to me 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted June 13, 2014 My first thought was bridgesii. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted June 13, 2014 Is most likely really a bridgesii. True green! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I'm seeing a bridgesii there as well. Could be a huanucoensis though also - there are actually several different varieties of huanucoensis, most people don't know that.. Lol though you know what would be funny is to list a cutting of that on ebay for $149.00 dollars as a "huanucoensis" - undercut that sorry little shyster by $1.00 and see if anybody notices the joke.. Nah for real though that's an interesting looking plant - I'd call it bridgesii but it does have a sort of peruvianus look to it..

magical9 Posted June 13, 2014 LOL @ nitrogen. THanks for your input everyone. I think ill label this plant as Bridgesii but keep a historical background as to what it was sold to me as just to be fully transparent when selling this plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halcyon Daze Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Looks just like what I'd imagine a bridge x peru hybrid to look like. And I think I'm channeling a vibe from it.. No wait, it's just another hard-on Edited June 13, 2014 by Halcyon Daze 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
