Pilosocereus keyensis (sensu lato)

Post by jp29 »

This was propagated by cuttings from a plant that Professor Archie Deutschman, University of Arizona, 1957-81,
(who specialized in collecting and cultivating Mammillaria) gave me sometime in the 1970s. He identified it as
Pilosocereus keyensis (syn: P deeringii) - possibly P polygonus or P royenii ? He said he got it in Florida some years
earlier, but he no longer wanted it because it didn't fit into his collection.

Insane colors!

Buds, flowers, fruits.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
