Re: New to me

#2 looks like Thelocactus rinconensis based on tubercle shape. T. hexaedropborus has simpler tubercles.

Re: Is this a bad idea

Never tried it on cactus, but it caused some distorted growth on the plants I tried it on. It was over 40 years ago, so I don't remember what I used it on. I've seen it advertised to make cactus offset, recently.

Re: Instagram accounts

I started on "Insta" (am I cool yet?) a while back. As far as I know I'm @cactusthehut. I post pictures because I can do it from my phone. I'm pretty neutral on it and generally negative on social media in general. It's different, but it doesn't have the same interactive dialog we get here.

Re: Pelecyphora hybrids

I can only offer my own experience. I have two P. strobiliformis that flowered at the same time this summer. I pollinated by hand and never got anything that looked like fruit.

Two of my A. fissuratus made a liar of me today. They go from felt to flower in no time.

Re: Ariocarpus Bravoanus flowering!

A few of my arios are making felt. I don't expect flowers for a month. It's still over 100 during the day but got down to 68 this AM.

Re: Am I Mammillaria?

"Regular" M. pringlii have golden spines. I've never seen one this pale. I'd buy one if I'm saw one. Nice plant!

Re: Mammillaria

Nice plant! I think the flowers are too big and the spines too sparse for M, grahamii. You can sefinit3ly eliminate that.
