Still haven’t a clue as to the ID of this cactus.

Really? A few of us mentioned Echinocactus grussonii, and a nursery men told you the same, and you don't have a clue?

I agree

Its yours Alejandro. Send me your address in a PM and I'll let you know the current shipping price. I do have a PayPal account.

Great! I'll PM you my information.

I was at a local nursery the other day and noticed a flat of these striking Coryphantha labeled C. elephantidens, but that does not seem right. My first impression is C. robustispina (C. scheeri v. robustispina). Am I completely wrong here? IMG_20220909_142020575.jpg IMG_20220909_142043454_HDR.jpg ...

That's a generous offer! I have a few seedlimgs from the seeds you sent me, good germination.

G'day Alejandro, Tom & Bryan, Thank you very much for your information. Echinocactus platyacanthus grows a huge size someday. I do not know when but I may not be able to see it. Frank Hopefully yours will flower soon, it has good size already, here mine, purchased as a seedling about 15 years a...

Several cacti have been planted on the ground. They were covered by winter weeds and I removed weeds in this afternoon. The photo is one of them, unknown name. I bought seeds of Ferocactus-mix and sowed in 2003. The current location is too shady. I will repot this one in September. I do not know th...

I second that

Very nice!

I second Keith on that one, Copiapoas do great here in Tucson! Conos and Lithops thrive in Tucson, just take a look at Plants for The Southwest, amazing selection" A couple youtube videos of this nursery cactus quest and "Crime pays but botany doesn't" I visited but didn't see much c...
