Wow, that is very helpful to have all in one spot for comparisson. Thanks for the efforts on that!

Cool!
Very helpful. That crest is awesome!!
Thanks Loph.

Those are some amazing pictures! I just started growing two of my own LW's and its great to see the others and how they stack up.

I hope I can come to you with the many problems im going to have in the future

great tutorial Loph

Nice looking collection and pictorial.

Thats fantastic, I have four of these without labels but now when they flower I can check. Nice one!

Thats great loph,thanks. I have identified mine using this pictorial

good job Loph, very usefull tutorial. I think isn´t fricii the same as a jourdaniana?

Thanks guys/gals, glad it helps

Fricii and jourdaniana are very different cacti. fricii is a well accepted and wild found cactus. Lophophora jourdaniana is a cultivated plant, although probably exists in the wild i don't think anyone has found any. jourdaniana has darker red-pink flowers than fricii, and also has small spines that are more noticeable with the naked eye than other lophophora that are not visible with the naked eye, usually.

i am making a better guide with descriptions, but that will be added here later. you can check here for the slow progress of it. http://kadasgarden.tripod.com/Lophophorachart.html

peace

That guide that you've created is a real help and something of an inspiration. I'll personally be curious to see if some of my seeds grow into plants that resemble the named varieties that you've catalogued.

Man those are nice!
I guess Im going to have to get some of them.

thanks guys! hope it helps. i am in need of a couple mature plants of som kinds, which is why i have not added them here. perhaps someone here has some to add?

there is also an Astrophytum asterias and myriostigma in the making, but that is an even slower and amazingly expensive project lol.

Well done Loph!
good to see them all together for comparison.
here is lophophora williamsii var. caespitosa flower:
(im sure you can find a better one actually in focus):

have to remove the offsets to allow the main head to grow to a decent size so it can flower.
(yes this specimen is caespitose.. the offsets are small around the base of plant).

very nice, thanks for the pic! i often remove the offsets as well, but once they reach a certain size they start leaving ugly scars which i dont like. i have 2 that i am picking like pimples on a 14 year old, but the rest i tend to leave to clump away

how old is yours? looks great!
