OK I am collecting some of the 'hairy' species at the moment, I bought this one last week and thought it had no tag. I just noticed it this morning but it says it's a Morawetzia sericota?


(click on the thumbnail)

i saw that it was a synonym for oreocereus but this doesn't have the same spines as the one they pictured.
I was wondering which species it might be

hi olga , i have a few myself..sooo cute! this info is from http://cactiguide.com/

Acepted Name	Synonyms
Oreocereus doelzianus	Morawetzia doelziana, Borzicactus doelzianus, Morawetzia sericata
Oreocereus varicolor	Arequipa varicolor, Morawetzia varicolor, Oreocereus leucotrichus

Excellent, thank you

Yes I love them, and I think my partner who normally makes fun of my cacti likes them too, he always has a smile for the fluffy guys.

have you seen the cristate fluffy guys? they look like teddy bears

No lol, now I want one I always feel like giving them a pat.

yeah here he is ... turns out to be an Espostoa
so cute , reminds me of those really old fashioned stiff koala bear toys

I must have one of those, what a beauty!

wow, i want one of those , awsome, is it grafted?

Collector's Corner has one on display, none for sale, with a 'no small plants' sign

I think it's called an Espostoa 'nana' if I figured it out correctly, now to find one...
