Re: Take a swing at this Gymno?

Thanks, I had thought saglionis a singleton -- always.

Take a swing at this Gymno?

Any ID help? Blooms look a LOT like my G. saglionis, bloom time also coincides, but multiple heads.

Anyone? A genus would be helpful.

Re: Echinopsis tarijensis?

Thanks! Eulychnia castanea seems a decent fit. Stems are 10cm across, branches at base, wild spinage... Maybe. Hopefully, I'll have some bloom shots later this year.

Re: Echinocereus ID?

Re: Let's grow some Melocactus!

Thank you for posting this wonderful primer on Melocactus cultivation. I can add one little informative tidbit some may find useful. I have had an M. azureus in a pretty sunny spot planted in ground for years. It has endured temps in the high teens covered and mid-twenties uncovered without issue. M...

Re: Giant M. plumosa?

OK thanks guys. All the plumosa I had seen previously had golf ball sized heads buried under so much fuzz I could barely tell what was going on under there. :D

Giant M. plumosa?

Just picked this up as M. plumosa, but the main head is larger than a tennis ball. Can they grow that large or is this something else?

Re: Puzzled

Thanks much. That was my original thought, when we first discovered them growing with the Coryphantha. Then we later discovered these (pictured), which are clearly M. heyderi ssp. macdougalii.
