Hi, great habitat photo of the Peniocereus. Is it possible it's P. johnsonii?

Nice to see you Manuel... and nice penio, I reckon it'd be great to live close to where there are wild cacti.

Cheers CP.

Great thread....
OK here I am sharing bread with a San Bernardo dog during winter holidays in the Alpi mountain. (No cacti there...)

Hey aajoo - Do they really use those dogs for rescue in the mountians like on the cartoons?

Hi CP: Yes, it?s fascinating to find cacti everywhere you walk around....I hope you can travel someday to Mexico....

Hi: PeterB. Is not jhonstonii. P. jhonstonii grows wild in Baja California Sur (very far from here, 800 kilometers east and passing the gulf of Cortez). I guess P. greggii is the only Peniocereus we have in wild areas at this part of the chihuahuan desert.

thanks mavaz, from the photo it didn't really look like johnsonii to me...but that's just me.

That is a nice big Epi, Tony. Does it produce lots of flowers?

Yes Daiv,iT does.But I have no photo's of that particular plant at the moment,so here is a shot of one of my other mature epi's for refrence.

Hi, Daiv,
I work a lot in Switzerland, there they still use these dogs to find survivors of avalanches. Their noses are so incredibly fine. I just have no idea, whether they still carry these miniature rhum cascets around the neck as in the cartoons.

Hi, Tony,
those Epies for sure look good! Do they flower red or pink?
