Re: Coryphantha elephantidens (ssp. bumamma) vs. Coryphantha pycnacantha (= C. andreae)
Thought the difference was supposed to be C. elephantidens has a pink flower and andreae a yellow one? But the link below says flowers go from red to yellow, but I suppose it depends what other species you lump into it https://www.cactusexpert.org/coryphantha/verification-at-locations.html That's t...

Coryphantha elephantidens (ssp. bumamma) vs. Coryphantha pycnacantha (= C. andreae)
Is there a definitive feature that would allow distinguishing C. elephantidens (specifically ssp. bumamma) from C. pycnacantha ( = C. andreae) ? I have a plant for which I am doubting between those two options. As far as descriptions I read and photos I saw go, both fit. I am deliberately not going ...

Re: My Seed List (Free giveaway and for swapping)
I downgraded
48 Rebutia fulviseta
from "swap only" to "free giveaway" as due to a mixup there's a 50/50 chance that this is either actually R. fulviseta or Rebutia (Mediolobivia) pygmaea. You're just gonna have to sow and see.

Indeed this plant has produces more than one flower per areole but isn't this a feature that many weingartias, notably also W. neocumingii? I tried to find out this in...

Re: Astrophytum: At what age does the number of ribs stabilize?
Update, so by 6 months of age all 8 of my surviving "tricostatum" seedlings had 4 ribs. At the age of 11 months, i.e. now, one seedling finally turned into a true tricostatum and one developed a fifth rib. So indeed, empiricially, at least for the first year, the number of ribs can change....

Re: Feedback on cactus-hobby.eu
Yeah, so I actually placed a huge order 2 days after Mr. Dohnalik's list was updated. For a whole week, there was complete silence from them. No acknowledgement email, nothing. This seems a little bit rude, but OK. So after a week and three emails from my side, I finally got a response that they wil...
