Dodie Posted May 21, 2005 so is she a spachianus?... thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faslimy Posted May 21, 2005 not a spach I would guess Trichocereus smrzianus smrzianus was the cactus which really got my interested in columnars. There isn't much information to be found on it however I don't think it gets very tall. It's hard to tell from your pics but here a closer shot of one. you lucky bum thats a nice plant [ 21.

pat dasein Posted May 24, 2005 Might also be T. grandflorous. But I'm not sure if they get that big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dodie Posted May 27, 2005 heres yet another pic of the mysterious cacti.. http://www.shaman-australis.com.au/gallery..._100_045311.JPG can anyone confirm that it may be a smrzianus? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted May 27, 2005 Hey dodie, I don't think yours is a spach. - too many ribs but it might be a huascha if they can get that big and fat. There's a guy from WA on the American gardenweb cacti forums looking for an ID on something similar to yours and someone's replied they think it might be a huascha.

AndyAmine. Posted June 2, 2005 How many spines are comming out of those areols Dodie303? between 5-8? It looks similar to the kind that Ive been seeing all around the Gold Coast, there are some simply huge 5-12+ armed mosnters around, one of them is comming up to 2 stories high! Ill take some pictures when I have my digicam back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted September 1, 2005 hey dodie take another pic if you can. i just received 3 cuttings labeled as trichocereus fabrisii, 2 were obviously the same species where as one wasnt and resembled huasca. the fabrisii look like the one you have dodie.

Dodie Posted September 1, 2005 any specific angels or anything? As close as i can get? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted September 1, 2005 Dodie, take a shot from directly above it. That seems to be the best view for getting an idea of the shape/number of ribs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted September 1, 2005 Heres a top view of her, i think i may of already posted this one, maybe its a bit bigger this time... sab gallery [ 01. September 2005, 07:56: Message edited by: dodie303 ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted September 1, 2005 To me it looks like a Trichocereus Purpureopilosus i have. Isnt´s the purpureopilosus familiar with Tr.spachianus?Or with huascha`? I forgot about that. It seems that you will have to wait for it´s flower to be sure. Due to it´s fatness i´d say this isn´t a smrzianus.In my opinion it also isn´t a brevispinulosus or grandiflorus. I doubt that a Grandiflorus would get that errect and thick. But maybe there are more than one commercial forms available. I finally managed to upload a pic to the shaman australis gallery. http://shaman-australis.com.au/gallery2/di...e.php?pos=-1060 [ 01.
