muanah Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Hello, I have about eight very large specimens, from many years ago when I was interested in Ethnobotany. Sadly, I lost track of their names, origins, common names etc, but they all came from various sources via a friend at the time who was involved in this community. These need to be harvested and 'processed', as I can no longer keep them. I may as well enjoy the outcome of the sacrifice ! To my untrained eye, they all loon quite similar, and traits between those even out of the same stump might even differ. What are the most important things for consideration ? At least some of them should be either sp. pachanoi and (less likely) sp. bridgesii. I'm an OK macro photographer, and happy to take shots for sharing here, of each specimen. What would folks like to see, in order to assist in identification ? Number of ribs ? The 'crown' of the column ? The number of thorns in each cluster? A dissection shot of the innards? Some of them have flowered over the years, but not very often. And I don't remember which ones flowered at those times. The flower won't be an ID key For everyone's viewing pleasure, here's a lovely one from a year ago, that I took as part of a 200-image time lapse over 12 hours.
