I haven't posted for years but my Tricocereus grandifllorus hybrid made a huge show this spring. Fifty buds total. First flush of flowers was 16 flowers, the second a week later was 21 flowers. Now enjoying the last few opening.

Could use some help with this please. this is the first time this has bloomed for me. Flower is 2 in. across and the plant segments are 3-4 in.

Mine have finished flowering this year.

I missed 8 and 9 too.

Testing my grafting skills. Just wanted to see what would happen.

Nice graftings... but how would you get off the grusonii when it gets large?? This plant grows very well on its own roots, even better than grafted. :wink: Regards Alex I'm not sure how I'll get it off there. The main reason I used it was because I had several. If it didn't work I would still have ...

I had gotten some Cereus cuttings last year with the intention of using them as grafting bottom stock. The rooted and were growing like weeds so it was time. The grafts were a success. Now to see what happens from here. They measure 10-12 inches tall from the soil surface. http://www.cactiguide.com/...

A 6 lb. pike. Isn't that small? I remember pictures of my dad and grandfather holding 20+ lb. pike. Those were the days.

Here is to give you scale on the little one:

That's a Restripia. Not sure of the species.

[quote="Peterthecactusguy"]Daiv,
was the bottom one a stinker?
I am pretty sure that there are some orchids that are stinkers and that looks like it might have been one, but then again I am not expert.

The bottom one is an Anguloa orchid. They are very fragrant. Not stinky at all.

Nice collection of orchids though.

I miss my Pac-Man frogs. I never got an African Bullfrog.

Trichocereus grandiflorus hybrid. I just love the color on this one.

That's a Tricocereus grandiflorus hybrid. I just posted a pic of mine in the general cactus section.
