Today, I was connected with a plant curator and cacti expert at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
I am waiting on more information from them as to this plant's ID. I am quite confident that they will be able to provide a positive identification. Still more to come on this!

Re: UPDATED with new photos: Acanthocereus tetragonus?
A complete description needs floweres, fruits, and seeds. I have spent up to 10 years IDing some plants but your's is mature so you should rap it up within 1 year. My acanthocereus here in Central America have considerable variation. It is typical for seedlings to start out very spiny and 6 winged ...

Re: Cereus or Acanthocereus sp.?
UPDATE: Here are the new photos - below Looking at these now, the younger growth has whiter spines. I am increasingly confident that these are both the same species. I think the previous owner attempted (somewhat poorly) to pot up a section of the plant and forgot about it on the side of the house....

Re: Looking for Pachypodium.
Hello everyone, I am looking for rosulatum, brevicaule, densiflorum, and gracilius and was curious if anyone on the site is growing and selling any of these Pachypodium. Thank you for any help. Were you ever able to find these? I would be interested in finding them as well. I currently have P. geay...

Re: Jer's Return 2023
Hi Jer. My daughter lives in Pompano Beach. We just visited her earlier in the month. She is growing orchids outdoors hanging on her trees. I brought cuttings of an Epiphyllum I used to grow when she was a child I obtained from a friend that is still growing it. I set her up with a pot I attached t...

UPDATED with new photos: Acanthocereus tetragonus?
Update: I am very happy to maintain this thread here. Though, with the discovery that this may indeed be a threatened native species here in Florida, I have sent photos to our Department of Agriculture. I am, hoping they can provide a positive identification. I will continue to post updates here as...

Re: Sizes of your collection
I have been keeping cacti off-and-on for a very long time. I started learning about cacti when I was around 10 years old. I am now 38. So, lets say over 20 years. There have only been a few years during which I didn't have at least one species. Since then, I have kept over 100 different species, inc...

Re: Echinopsis sp.?
Thank you anttisepp! :D That was one of the species I was thinking too. This does have a very curious color. I was so taken by it that I had to have it. Ha! It is quite unusual looking. The lighting in my photos doesn't do it justice. The weather is pouring rain here. So, I can't get a good sunlit p...

Looking for Rhipsalis and other epiphytes
Greetings, I am on the lookout for Rhipsalis species. Cuttings, seeds, or rooted plants are all fine. Additionally, I am also likely to be interested in any other epiphytic cacti. What do you have available? Please see my Grow/Trade list here: https://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=400424#p400...

Echinopsis sp.?
Hey folks! Longtime member here. But, I have been away from the forum for a long time (more on that here: https://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47767) I recently picked up this cute clump of cacti at a roadside stand in South Florida. The woman who sold it only spoke Spanish and my friend and...

Jer's Return 2023
Hi friends! I am a longtime member of this community. I have been on hiatus - living life and doing other things - since 2012. I have kept cacti off-and-on though and had a cacti themed kitchen/dining room before I moved, which I was very proud of (photo below). I am getting back into the hobby afte...

Why thank you!Alber khan wrote:A nice list youv'e got there.
Well, at least it was a nice list.
I put most everything out in the sun this summer and managed to kill about half of it. :/
Still... working it out.
