One benefit from sowing seeds, and get good germination, is that you get a lot of plants (the drawback is the same, if you like me have limited space and easily get addicted to stuff that interests you). I had two pots of the species he was looking for to complete the collection and I needed room for some giveaway seeds that Aiko sent me, so sending adetheproducer the seedlings from one of the pots was the only right thing to do in my mind

. Otherwise they had to be thrown away... It is a good thing that we can help each other out in our journey through the realm of the spines

I can totally relate to this.

Yes, I too will be needing to make some space soon. I got some epithilantha micromeris which will be ready hopefully later this year I want to get them to about a centimeter wide before they go. I will have 3 gasteria Armstrongii offset which are rooting up now. I got echinocereus knippelianus seedlings which all will need to go at some point to make way for more seeds. I am not going to be buying any mature plants for a while with limited space and my third child on its way so cheep and cheerful for the foreseeable future. I'm just going to turn over as many home grown seeds as I can keep my self busy that way for a while. As I said kristian_Fossmo does get first choice but if any one else wants anything let me know and I can post out as and when they are ready to go.

adetheproducer, great collection!
But that plant you refer as fricii albiflora looks far more like koehresii. It has dark green epidermis (as koehresii have), koehresii-like flower, those S-ribs structure usual for koehresii and I bet it has huge taproot (much bigger comparing to other lophophoras) - its also characteristic of Lophophora koehresii.
Fricii f. albiflora looks like any other fricii - they have lighter, more white epidermis comparing to other Lophophoras. And actually they grow on the same place with usual fricii - on a slopes of Viesca basin at south-west of Coahuila state.

I have several fricii f. albiflora plants, here's one on them:

And the sun came out and did this today.

More sun today so I discovered the species of my most recently purchased lophophora. It was just sold as 'lophophora species' but clearly a jourdiniana nice and pink filaments in the flowers.
