0 Evil Genius Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Middle one is Myrtillocactus Geometrizans, right one Pilosocereus Azureus and the left one is probably a Haageocereus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 J Smith Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hamiltons used to provide the goods to Bunnings (these ones aren't Hamiltons cactus). I last visited Hamiltons maybe 18 months ago and their tunnels were almost empty. They said there was some issue that meant they couldn't keep up with demand. I think this is why Hamiltons cactus at Bunnings has significantly dropped off. I hope they have sorted whatever the problem was and we start to see their plants at Bunnings again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they have sorted whatever the problem was and we start to see their plants at Bunnings again.I saw a small selection (less than 10 pots) of fairly mature stuff about 6-8 weeks ago in the same Bunnings from Hamiltons but not in other Bunnings nearby. This one has the largest garden area though. FYI, these adore from Paradisia http://www.collectorscorner.com.au/Cacti/Cacti%20&%20Succulents%20main.htmCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
AbleKay
Surprised there's no Bunnings sticky, was going to post in the eBay/gumtree thread but figured Bunnings is all nursery stuff (albeit poorly named ,-)
Anyway, don't see much in Bunnings, and the larger stuff tends to go quick so was surprised to see 100+ $5 pots today in my local today (Alexandria)
Most were well named and easily ID confirmed except for the one on the leafy and right below:
The 2 on the right say "Blue Torch" but I'm guessing the one on the right might be a peruvianus?
The one on the left just says "Cactus" I was kinda hoping its a Saguaro, but have never seen a baby to know?
Thanks
