Beautiful! cactus seedlings are so incredible up close. Hard to believe how fiercely spined some of these plants will be, especially hancockii and brandegeei.

Awesome! Great seedlings, Angelo.
Interesting how E. spec. L1544 are much greener than the rest.

Nice variety!

Interesting to see maritimus ssp hankockii...

CactusJordi and I have discussed this one in detail. He is skeptical of this one. We both have pictures listed of it:

http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus ... =maritimus

What do you think? In a couple of years, you'll have some plants like this eh?

hancockii is marginal at best. basically just a somewhat larger form of regular maritimus. I'll probably take pictures of both this December when I go down there.

They're not wasting any time getting spines!

That is what Jordi thinks too...

you are right Peter the vision brought closer of the small plants it shows us of the particular ones that at first sight they are not seen. the brandegeei I have already had the the opportunity of appreciating the strong thorns
my brandegeei sown of 1/2008 in a pot of 5x5

I have also sowed the seed maritimus
maritimus ssp.maritimus

it is a form that has less strong thorns of the hanchockii and also the flowers are smaller.

according to Blum et to the. the thorns of the maritimus are long 8-12mm with 1-4 central length 20-40mm while those of the ssp. hancockii are long 10-25mm and 4-8 central length 50-65mm.

Darryl the spec. L1544 probably a polyacanthus and for other a santaritensis, maintains a green color in comparison to all the other , say that it is less sensitive to the quantity of strong light sent by the fluorescent tube.

Daiv already my Echinocereus seedling begin to occupy a lot of space but I hope that also the maritimus begin to accestire even if unlike other kinds are an a little slower in to send forth new stems

thanks Tony,excluding the Ferocactus lindsay that is a true snail the other seedlings proceed well.

Look at all those cool little spines!
Great growing, Angelo.

yes, grow well, after the 2 month should be fast even more and in less than 60 days they will begin to take the warm one and the natural light to strengthen the stem but also the thorns.
