Ishmael Fleishman Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I got these cacti from an online seller but I forgot what it was. Can people identify?

0 fyzygy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 T. bridgesii, some varieties of which are known for 0, 1 or 2 spines per aureole (and combinations thereof). I doubt you'll see 9 ribs on a bridgesii. 4-6 would be more typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 thegreatartist Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Do you remember if the seller said it was a specific hybrid/named clone? It certainly looks like some kind of T. Bridgesii, but if it is a named hybrid it could be the lovely SS02XJuuls' Giant (if it goes back 15 years that is.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller did not give it a name - just that she had acquired it from someone who had used it shamanic rituals and it came from a very old and established stand that she grew.
