New babies
You bet I like them! Those are all fine pics and I'd be pleased to grow any one of them. Thanks for the collection update. Sounds like this Lester chap is a good local source for cacti, no? You might want to put a plug for him in the sticky post on good places to get cacti.but I have also obtained a lot more. I hope you like them.

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
very nice collection, Isometric
good luck for them.
A few years ago, I always bought cacti as seedlings from north European nurseries. But later I noticed that their acclimatization is very difficult to our climate and the lost rate is very high. Only Italian seedlings are good. So, I buy big matur plants nowadays. The rarities are in seed propagator

I'm only 24, so I will be able to see them grow to maturity, I hope. Though sometimes I wish that I had started much earlier. I have started to grow some seeds also.
I would like to be able to afford mature plants, but then I see 8cm specimens of A. kotschoubeyanus for $50.
The next big project will be a greenhouse, the progress of which will be posted on the greenhouse section should I decide to go ahead.

You really picked up a nice selection. Some especially nice plants there!
I think the one with the big bud is what is often sold/traded as "Trichocereus grandiflorus" == Echinopsis huascha. This may very well be what it is or it may be a hybrid. I think in cultivation, true species of this are much fewer than it seems and that most are hybrids that fit a "profile".

Re: New babies
Thanks for posting photos of all of those nice plants. Even though I enjoyed seeing the plants, I think I appreciated all of the beautiful root systems more. They are a great indicator on how to care for the plant.

I totally agree with what this person is saying. Nothing serves to run, it is necessary to leave in time.iann wrote:The wheel on my mouse is worn out
Patience, grasshopper. Some of these have a reputation for rotting after transplanting, so don't be in a hurry to water the ones with taproots.
I think the Mammillarias are right. I can't tell the Copiapoa, its too small yet, but could be.
I think G3 is G. anisitsii, G1 is G. bicolor, G2 is G. spegazzini, and G4 is G. marquezii.

Re: New babies
They're all good with strong roots, Especially the first seedling "Ariocarpus retusus".Isometric wrote:I recently received 24 lovely seedlings. I am ever so excited. I hope I don't kill any of them. Enjoy the photos. And let me know if I've mislabeled any, the names are what I have ordered. If there's a mistake then the name belongs to another picture, it's unlikely the seller made a mistake.
Ariocarpus retusus
Acanthocalycium glaucum
Astrophytum asterias
Astrophytum asterias 'Super Kabuto'
Astrophytum ornatum var. mirbelii
Copiapoa haseltoniana
Discocactus magnimammus
Echinocereus rubispinus
Epithelantha micromeris var. bokei
Notocactus uebelmannianus
Obregonia denegrii
Ortegocactus macdougalli
Sulcorebutia rauschii
Thelocactus riconensis
Ferocactus glaucescens
Ferocactus rectispinus
The next four are Gymnocalycium species. They are anisitsii, bicolor, marquezii and spegazzinii, but I'm not sure which is which. Any help would be appreciated.
G.1
G.2
G.3
G.4
The next three are Krainzia guelzowiana, Mammillaria sempervivi and Mammillaria zeilmanniana. I have a better idea about this than the Gymnocalyciums, but still not sure.
Krainzia guelzowiana
Mammillaria sempervivi
Mammillaria zeilmanniana
Carnegia gigantea
I hope that didn't cause people's middle fingers to ache from scrolling too much.
