Nice, I just recently got some plants off Lester myself.

I've been searching for Uebelmannia, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? (and how much?)

I bought the Uebelmannia from Lester about a month and a half ago. I think it was about $15.

but I have also obtained a lot more. I hope you like them.
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.

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 8)

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.

The tall blue one is maybe Pilosocereus fulvilanatus/pacycladus.

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". 8)

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.

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.
I totally agree with what this person is saying. Nothing serves to run, it is necessary to leave in time.

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 ornatum var. mirbelii

Echinocereus rubispinus

Epithelantha micromeris var. bokei

Notocactus uebelmannianus

Ortegocactus macdougalli
Image
Sulcorebutia rauschii
Image
Thelocactus riconensis
Image
Ferocactus glaucescens
Image
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
Image
G.2
Image
G.3
Image
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.

Mammillaria sempervivi

I hope that didn't cause people's middle fingers to ache from scrolling too much.

They're all good with strong roots, Especially the first seedling "Ariocarpus retusus".
This post created in 2008 so they now become a mature and strong cactus
