0 wert Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I say take a cutting in the dead of night. take it home. repost close ups. don't think it's a trich tho. could be wrong? might be an echinopsis. just to confuse. ahh well someone will know what it is other than really heavy to carry.

0 2XB Posted January 9, 2016 Kinda Lookin t. Grandiflorus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 zed240 Posted January 9, 2016 I reckon the "spach" is a red flowered grandiflorus. Has longer centrals than spach. Other one could be a variety of candicans or maybe schickendantzii. Need to see flowers. Others will probably know from seeing this pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted January 9, 2016 Could be Tr. huascha but you´d need to see the flowers as well. Hard to ID because many Trichos can look like that, including Tr. schickendantzii, Tr. strigosa and Tr. vollianus. I think I can rule out vollianus and I am currently leaning towards T. huascha or Tr. strigosa/strigosus, but far from being sure and I´d love to see more details of the flowers.

0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 9, 2016 when I get back there I will take some close ups. I will ask if I can take a cutting. ok wow. I didn't hesitate to id the other one as a spach, shows how good my id skills are... thanks for prompt reply guys ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 9, 2016 your quite right zed, the spines on the 'spach' seem longer than they should be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) na that thing wont be heavy, ill grab that with welding gloves no worries, I like cacti wounds anyway heavy is a 3ft cutting that takes 3 people to lift and stayed in the car for a week because I couldn't figure out how to get it out by myself.

0 zelly Posted January 9, 2016 the dried flowers more closely resemble cleistocactus types than they do any trich flower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 10, 2016 im very strict on not taking anything I don't have permission for, its just out the front of an auto shop so I don't think theyre overly concerned about it. I will be asking, not nicking. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Halcyon Daze Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Dude, I GIVE you permission Lop that sucker! Edited January 10, 2016 by Halcyon Daze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I agree the dried flowers are not typically for Trichocereus. It´s a little bit too thick for Cleistocactus though. Botanically speaking, Cleistocactus isn´t too far away from Echinopsis and you can breed intergeneric hybrids without a problem. I have a feeling that it might be a Soehrensia, which are a group of plants close to Echinopsis. But they are fatter and have smaller flowers. But I´d propose we wait for new flowers before we say more. This is not one of the common cacti and I´d love to see more close-ups and maybe the owners can provide you with some additional pics or info.

0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 10, 2016 its not all that far from fields, dawsons is not too far either, so maybe that provides a clue. I will try n get as much info as I can about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 10, 2016 sorry to be all serious and stuff but this cacti theft business is not a laughing matter. If anybody did it to me I would break out the waddy on them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
