Re: Is my plant Cephalocereus senilis or something similar?
Mammillaria glassii What makes you think that? In M. glasii central spines are same colour and barely distinguishable from radial spines, while the plant on the pictures above has brown, hooked central spines tipical of M. bocasana .

Re: Wintering
FWIW, whereas most of my collection is in an unheated (though fleece-lined greenhouse) I keep all my Ferocacti, S. pruinosis and P. magnifica indoors in a cool room. https://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/ is a good place to find out tolerance to cold for each variety.

Re: A Blooming Thread
Hey Nachtkrabb. Sorry, only just seen this. Thanks. It was identified to me as "horridispinum", which makes perfect sense!nachtkrabb wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 3:53 pm Hallo Gillinger,
that's a real nice Matucana madisonorum. Interesting with those long spines, never seen that before.
Is this a special variety?

Re: Mammillaria ID
I managed to get in touch with the person I got it from and she says she thinks it's M. rubrograndis. From photos on the internet this doesn't seem likely. Any thoughts on that?

Mammillaria ID
I've just acquired this plant, which was only marked as a Mammillaria. After a lot of searches I came up with M. sphaerica as a possible. Can anyone please confirm? Thanks.

Various E. oxygona?
Can anyone confirm that each of these are varieties of Echinopsis oxygona? Searches seem to show a wide range of forms for this particular species. Thanks.

A Gymno, a Lobivia
I was in a garden centre yesterday and came upon some cacti that had obviously come from someone's personal collection as they had handwritten labels and good compost. When I asked I was told that a guy sometimes brought some in and they'd sell them on his behalf. I managed to get a Copiapoa tenuiss...
