Caudata Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) The house where this old mother plant is growing is being gutted/renovated, and all of the cacti on the property are being removed. I stopped by today and asked the workers if I could take some cuttings from the brigesii. One of the men enthusiastically went at it with his shovel and I came away with a few pieces several feet long and one with 3 pups. I think this plant looks somewhat distinct from other mature bridgesii I've seen. I'm naming it "gracias" because this is all I could (repeatedly) say as the really kind man helped me grab these cuttings, and because, in general, I'm incredibly thankful for these cacti and the community surrounding them. This one is a fat, nice specimen, and if anyone here in the US is interested in it I'd be happy to trade some generously sized pieces away.

M S Smith Posted June 25, 2015 Last thing I need is another cactus, but I have to say, gracias for sharing the find and photos. And that thing is really rather thick for a T. bridgesii. Very nice. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrDoRight Posted July 1, 2015 My Bridgesii Cv gracias arrived yesterday and is an impressive specimen with big areoles and equilvlient thickness as my T.Peruvianus . The plant is definitely unlike any bridgesii I own. I'm thankful to own a Piece of this cactus and look foward to spreading the legacy in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrDoRight Posted July 1, 2015 The Peice Ohlone sent me has precursor flower fuzz so hopefully I can get it seeded and crossed with another tricho. None of my bridgesii look close to flowering stage besides th is new Gracias and correct me if I'm wrong , I need another trichocereus to make the plant produce seeds.
