Ferocactus latispinus

Fero with fruit they take a year to ripen i have approx twenty this size all ready to go into the ground in spring. I will take prep photos an update photos on cactus bed as i make progress.

This is my myrtillocactus geometrizans cristate.

Ferocactus chrysacanthus one of my fav fero's

Ariocarpus agavoides

Astrophytum ornatum these have all flowered i have some a little smaller with better markings. Some of these will go into my garden bed in spring.

Nice Myrtle

That crest myrtillo is cool! Did it crest on its own or was it from a cutting? I have one that is a bit wider, it is from a cutting.It started to rot so it put it on a tricho and it's doing fine.
This is one of my all time favorite plants. I think the called it the dinosaur back.
Needless to say the grafting knives will be out for this on come spring.

I'm loving these crested myrtles... really beautiful plants. Those ornatums are pretty special too.

I was given a cutting from lester meyers when i was there last i could only hope it turns into half the speciman as yours its is very impressive.

I found these to be quite fast on the graft. Like I said it started to rot so this time last year I grafted a bit about 4cmm wide by 2cm high on a fresh tricho cutting (following Kada's method, Thanks Kada!) I left the grafted cutting without roots on the window sill inside where it was warmer until mid spring before potting it up. Seemed to work fine as an emergency way of saving a plant that rots in winter. It grew out to what it is now in a single season from the older growth which you can see is a different colour.
It looks to me like your one is a different clone maybe. It seems taller and more upright. Would be very interesting to breed the two and see what the offspring were like.

Love the F.chrysacanthus ... how old do you estimate its age? Does it flower?

crested myrti is a need-to-get-one-of-these-too thing. But I got a breast plant

The chrysacanthus probably seven years a friend has one twice that size and wait a secound i remember lester has an awsome one in the ground will post that pic under his collection tomorrow.

here's my chrysacanthus, one of my favourite feros too
