Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
Yep, I always want to know how and where they find this information before the growers.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
Here is a recent flourish from one of my grafts.
I'm guessing L. fricii due to the petal shape and lack of straight ribs (not seen here). It also seems to be self-sterile. Although it is quite caespitose, maybe asome a result of the grafting.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
I would rather call it L. koehresii, precisely because of petal shape and general flower arrangement, but the genus is a big mess for such a small number of species.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
Well today I found out it is a lophophora fricii albiflora. Very big flowers compared to the other lophophora.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
I got this about 4 years ago from a local garden centre. The plant is supplied by pughs cacti and came with the label lophophora diffusa. It's now flowed for the first time but unlike my other diffusa it's flower has a darker pink mid-stripe with a pale pink colour petal. Not sure if they are lumpers or splitters with classification and think it could be a lophophora diffusa koehresii. Any ideas with this one? I know lophophora can be quite variable could it be a diffusa with a pink flower?

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
Lophophora koehresii is a plant that I find hard to define exactly. My plants have a few characteristics that set them apart from other L. diffusa - a "bluer" epidermis, longer and wavier petals with a darker midstrip and, most importantly, a massive turnip (although this may be hard to notice in older plants,it is quite obvious in seedlings). Your plant seems to be a light-pink flowered L. diffusa, but I've read somewhere that it may hybridize with L. koehresii and if the plants are not kept well apart, busy bees won't tell the difference (although I have found that the plants I have identified as either species will flower at different times).

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
Thanks guess I will stick with lophophora diffusa. Cheers.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
From the green color of the skin and diffuse (go figure!) rib pattern I'd stick with diffusa as well. My koehresii tend to be darker and bluer, as stated above.
Here is the same grafted plant that I posted at the top of this page, now with an even larger flourish (7 flowers from 5 heads). This is by far the most floriferous of all of my grafts, I must've gotten close to 3 dozen this season. It will be 1 year old in September

Thank you
Thank you
Have a good day!

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
L. kohresii should not be blue, but green. It's original provisional name was L. viridis (viridis = green) before it was validly published as L. koehresii. L. diffusa's body is usually a sickly looking yellowish green colour compared to the other species, even though the plant is healthy.

L difusa does sometimes have pinkish tinges, or faint striping on the petals, as in the picture in the link below.
http://www.magicactus.com/description.html#diffusa
As with all cactus populations in habitat they vary in their characteristics slightly, but we sometimes only see a single clone in cultivation therefore get a false idea of the variability of the species. Also flowers can vary slightly in colour year to year.
This is my L. koehresii.

Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide
You will do better to wait until they flower Waldemar, which most are large enough to do since that helps sorting out their identity.
This MagiCactus link will help you sort out the confusion of names and identify them when they flower.
