M S Smith Posted June 20, 2005 For those of you cross-registered at The Nook have a look at the "T. macrogonus (?)" thread, it might be of great interest. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-YT- Posted June 30, 2005 i have a Unidentified Trichocereus that i believe could be a Trichocereus macrogonus i will find a link to the pic its a big dodgy will be getting a digital camera soon for a better ID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted July 1, 2005 Hey, if you guys haven't looked at the "Trichocereus macrogonus (?)" thread yet I think you would find it alone worth joining The Nook. Sunchild (Archaea) and I are certainly working on some issues that offer a lot of information. There are a ton of photos I've posted in the thread and it is a veritable feast of ideas and cactus porn. If you hit the forum another equally detailed thread is the one titled "Regarding Trichocereus." I highly recommend you joining just to see these posts. You will not regret it. I promise. If you don't want to respond there feel free to here. Trout, I would love your input! If you don't want to join I'll find another way to get the information to you. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted July 1, 2005 Torsten, would it be possible for you to organise a situation with the nook where members of this forum don't have to register there to view threads? I'd like to keep my forum whoring to a minimum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted July 1, 2005 come on apoth i think your post sounds a bit too much tort do this & tort do that... just register mate, the nook has got good stuff, it's worth your registration, believe me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted July 1, 2005 Oh ph, I'm willing to do the nitty gritty of it, but nobody has the connexions that T has. You don't understand! If I register an account on another forum I'll probably have to quit my job. It's an addiction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted July 1, 2005 i know what you mean mate and i try aswell to stay away from registering at too many forums, but the nook is worth it. it's ms smith's home base and the chemo disscusion with winder, ion, and me (a member name, not actually me, i am lilhelper @ the nook) is top notch stuff. edit: "ion" [ 01.

Gunter Posted July 1, 2005 I almost feel ashamed for having the discussion (and some debate ) there and not here. Its good stuff for lovers of Trichocereus. And in my opinion the pictures alone (Mikes) are worth joining to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-YT- Posted July 1, 2005 Ok here are some pics very blurry though I will see what i can do and hopefully get some better shots i need a digital camera.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-YT- Posted July 1, 2005 Ok so i've got a pic here of the nook forum of a T. Macrogonus that M S Smith posted notice the coloration of the newer growth is more blueish ? is that the same with all cacti - anyway i mine is kinda like that.Also the spines of my cacti were cut back (not by me) so they are alot shorter aswell. But hey im probly wrong anyway an ID would be great :D Trichocereus Macrogonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted July 1, 2005 there are all sorts of privacy issues involved as well as forum password incompatibilities. I mean, I can't even get the shop, forum and gallery into the same log in becuase they all use various encryption etc. In short, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted July 1, 2005 You just gotta get them to all authenticate against one amalgamated database That would be cool. *thinks* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted July 1, 2005 I just wrote out some interesting comments in conclusion about certain species in the "Regarding Trichocereus" thread. Young Tripper, see if you can get better pictures, particularly of the tip and its spines. It looks about right, but I'm not going to commit at this point. Now if only someone can explain what "authenticate against one amalgamated database" means. Tehehehehehe. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-YT- Posted July 2, 2005 Cheers Michael I most definatly will try to get some better pics Great thread at The Nook :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 3, 2005 new cactus lexicon is coming out will be interesting to see what they say about trichs www.cactuslexicon.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted July 4, 2005 I've been waiting for the New Cactus Lexicon to come out for what seems like years now. Any idea on the publishing date? It will certainly be interesting to see what they make of Trichocereus, but I expect them to not be conducting original field work, but pulling together others' works, which of course means more of the same confusion. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 4, 2005 publication in augest i think i remember reading. there was a post about it at gardenwebs cacti forum by one of the editors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted July 4, 2005 i would think this was a macrogonoid peruvianus. what do you all think? and tip view this is the SAB clone - Clym quite slow growing compared to my other trichs (cept terscheckii is slower too) top view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 4, 2005 looks like my plants above:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted July 4, 2005 I would assume that you´re right with your guess! The colour and position of the spikes looks very macrogonoid to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Posted July 4, 2005 Macrovianoid for sure. (just kidding about that name) I would like to see the lexicon too, but I think you are right Sir, it will be confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted July 11, 2005 Clym certainly looks ot be a T. macrogonus in my opinion. Check out Clym's spines, they are blackish. This is described for the species by Backeberg. Obviously the dark color fades in time to grey. Love that plant! Anyhow, if you've been following the T. macrogonus thread at the Nook have a look at the last couple postings. I put the "clencher" on my "T. peruvianus KK242" as T. cuzcoensis arguments (not that more was really needed though I suppose). The thread is "pinned" at the top of the cactus forum. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted July 11, 2005 hows KK's site in partic. the tricho page WTF! all over the place!!! off topic but... ive got some seed of T bridgesii brevispinus and E bridgesii KK474 ( realise that this is not the same as T bridgesii but i dont trust that the vendor knew this - and KK also advertises this # from la paz - isnt that T bridgesii country??) not much info online about these can u direct me to any MS?

Evil Genius Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) Hi Rev, the bridgesii brevispinus looks very kewl! It would be great if you could post some pics of yours when big enough!I enclosed some pics of a Trichocereus Macrogonus. The Corky area that you can see on PIC 2 is something which i encountered very often on Trichocereus Macrogonus. Especially in Cultivation. Best Regards EG [ 11.
