It's hybrid (Chamaecereus x Lobivia) so this plant is called Chamaelobivia (if you sure that is hybrid Chamae and Lobivia) or Chamaecereus hybr. (I use this name).fanaticactus wrote:Things have been happening at lightning speed. Here are the latest views. Another Lobivia or probably now an Echinopsis. Can you help with the species name?

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
Here are the most recent photos.
Mamm. zeilmanniana E. pulchellus var. sharpii Yes, this time I was in time to get the pretty flowers! Two more buds on the Escob. hesteri And, many thanks to Peter hoteidoc, two generous rooted cuttings from a San Pedro (Tricho/Echinop pachanoi) A group shot for a variety of colors and forms (thanx for the idea, Ian!) PS - I don't know why the last two photos ended up together in reversed order. I went back to "edit", and everything appears to be kosher to my eye.

Three at once on the E. hesteri
This NOID Rebutia/Weingartia/Sulco. I'm beginning to think it's probably a Wein. or Sulco. because of the slightly elongated areoles. Proof that a strawflower DOES open up. From Andy_CT and originally from John P. Weiser, this O. basilaris dwarf form which will not be part of the permanent outdoor garden The bud is slow in coming but it's almost ready on the regular E. pulchellus (should be a red flower).Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
once again beautiful flowers! your weingartia is far from a rebutia, I would say sulco indeed, looks a lot like sp. HS213

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
Thanks for the comments, Arjen. I don't yet know enough about species with letters and numbers (as in your suggested "HS213"). It seems that they are used more in Europe than here in the States, but I could be wrong. With a reference like that, it makes me feel I have something very special--but most likely not. Can they be looked up online? (I've never tried). Does the designation have something to do with who harvested/discovered the seeds and the location?

That red flower may be straw, but that's a pretty one. Too bad it was stuck on a cactus!

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
fanaticactus, no they are field numbers used to pinpoint the location where a plant was found, not a european thing at all!
the first two letters are in this case initials, indicating this species was found by Heinrich Swoboda, the number is the actual fieldnumber
you can usually look them up if the species is described, for example here: http://ralph.cs.cf.ac.uk/Cacti/fieldno.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
this species however is as of yet undescribed and only has a field number, no use looking it up
be aware that I said it RESEMBLES HS213, this is not an ID

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
Thank you for clearing that up for me, Arjen. So at this point until I get to really researching it, I'll just call it a Sulco sp. I hope it won't be offended.

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
As I suspected, the E. pulchellus was only one day away from popping open. Unfortunately, it is a very short-lived flower--just one day, and it opened in this krinkly petaled way. Is this normal, I mean is it fully open?

I think it won't mind living without a name, nice pulchellus!

May be crinkly, but it is beautiful!

Re: Vermont Cacti 2012--this time with a GH!
I actually find the crinkly part pretty unique! Nice plant and flower!
