Image
Lophophora 'Jourdaniana'

Lophophora koehresii x L. fricii hybrid
Image

Variegated hybrid.
Image


Lophophora williamsii regrowth
Image


Lophophora williamsii crest, my only wild collected Lophophora given to me by a friend who is getting pretty sick with a strange disease. So now its in my care. All that is known is its from Texas. In general i am quite against wild cactus, for the record :) I only took it as a gift.
Image


Pelecyphora aselliformis crest
Image


Trichocereus "boliviensis". Probably T. bridgesii.

Trichocereus bridgesii

Recovery after severe spider mite infestation. Lophophora fricii.

Cactus growing new stems from non areole locations.

L. williamsii growing from center of vasc bundle on cut root.
Image


Stenocactus sp. new stems growing from center of vasc bundle on cut surface.
Image


Strombocactus disciformis graft that failed and looked like it completely died. 3 years after this little thing grew and now its flowering. The stock, M. geometrizans, has been growing abandoned in my root stock moms where i take cuttings from for new plants. amazing.
Image

Strombocactus disciformis crest that is growing many new normal stems from the center of the vascualr bundle on a cut section.

I think the first 'strombocactus' is actually mammillaria pectinifera, or at least half mammillaria pectinifera. It'd be very cool if it were a hybrid of that and a strombocactus.

Hey guys, thanks :)

I am fairly certain its Strombocactus, it is a crested specimen (grafted) with normal stems coming from the cut vascular bundle. I will try and get some pics up of the entire plant soon. I am in the beginning stages of repotting a greenhouse, I will get more pics when i start getting into it more.

I am so bad about going through this part of the forums. Welcome back Kada!

Great stuff you have there and hope the snail issues are solved. Sorry for using the "S" word :wink:

Talk to you soon, and take care.
