Had this big ol brute for a few years now, grows very fast. tag just says "Gymnocalycium", which means probably a hybrid as i dont tag unidentified plants...but throwing it out there anyway.

I think that second one may be a seed grown Pachycereus pringlei. Not sure where the seed would come from. That is a curious one.

thanks for the gymno ID! looks about right.


Daiv, you may be onto something. seems way too young to tell much though eh? back to the "not sure" bench it goes until a bigger size :)
