Thanks Darryl. 8)

I found this specimen via a Brasilian guy's personal web page and went with his ID.

Check out his outdoor apartment style potted cacti garden. I'm pretty sure he lives in Sao Paulo.

He's also got some nice pics of Sao Paulo Botanical Gardens.

hehe, i'm sorry, i meant mine is not forbesii, but peruvianus ;)

where you see it planted, it gets filtered light through a large Angels Trumpet and other tall trees during mid-day.

Cool site, nice plants and pics.

I saw that plant at cactus art many years ago and its been on my wish ever list since.
I have never seen anything like it for sale anywhere else. :(

I was asking for it here aswell. Bot in our little country there's no way to get it. Noone have it. So... I'll have to get over the border sometime soon.

I do a cereus search on ebay once in a while. I see them on there often but just as often I get out bid.
