Awsome plants everyone has
I had the brilliant idea to go out the bush yesterday and attack the red ants nests... well steal their top layer of gravel, wonder where i got the idea I found a reallly big nest and got a great big bucket full, it looks really nice aswell.

hehe, I just had a look at this. its funny to see what all my plants were like.

I will repost some pics - I haven't changed much of the placements so the pics will be the same just bigger.

Turbinicarpus alonsoi


Trichocereus terschckii


Trichocereus wendermanianus



Copiapoa sp


Melocactus sp

Nice shoe I like that crest too, looks like a Tricho ? Pachanoi ?

lol

yep t.pachanoi.

I thought I'd take some up to date photos of my plants and post them, the sun was setting when I took them and my mobile phone camera doesn't like low light levels so some of them are a bit blurry. If anyone wants closeups or IDs of the ones in here I'll post some




The seedling bench:


My entire cactus bench fell down the other day so a few are missing because they haven't been moved back in but it's only a few pachanoi. I'm really lucky none of the cacti were too seriously injured, only a few uprooted and prickling eachother.

love it! like me you havent settled on just one genus , i love em all too

Yes I agree that's a nice collection Sponge. Well done with the grafts and seedlings, some of thoose are fairly difficult to raise and it shows how dedicated you are to have done so. I particularly like the pachypodium just left of center in the first pic...nice!

Latest purchase in bloom, picked up just the other day along with an M. compressa, N. submammulosus and E. grusonii. Got to love getting gift certificates for christmas


Labeled a Dolichotele "Birds Nest" but guess it should really be Mammillaria camptotricha.

Trying to figure out how to repot the compressa without damaging it right now, it's outgrown the plastic pot it came in with the pups being badly squashed against the sides.

Christmas/New Year being the time of impulse buying — my new pet c/o Hamilton's Nursery:

Got to get out to Hamilton's one of these days, it's got to be no more than a 20 minute drive from where I'm living. Funny I never knew it even excisted untill a week or so ago.

Not mine but the neighbours wild growing cactus. Getting ready to bloom any day now.

Thats a nice Caput region, sorry to ask but what did they want for that ?

Being an impulse purchase, I parted with $35 for, what would it be, a 2-year old plant? The rest were about 30% larger but they wanted $70 for those.

I'm now beginning to think I may have seen these in the past being sold by private growers at the CSSNSW spring/autumn shows, maybe labelled as Digitostigma.
