Well here is my like annual nexus post when I bring all the cacti in to start to go to sleep for winter,

Lovely cacti dude!

Here's a new cactus I was recently gifted! It is a Notocactus Scopa silver. I need to re-pot it so it can grow!

...and here's a cool picture I found on the internet. Was it here? Not sure where I saw it... probably somewhere.

The Ariocarpus autumn flower show continues.

A. retusus - white flowers.

My venerable A. fissuratus - about 16 years old.

Pale yellow flowered A. trigonus - the largest member of the genus.

A. scaphirostris - a quite large member of this small species. Just found in one valley in Mexico - possibly the most difficult of the genus.

Seems to be little point in coming here and posting pics nowadays. Nobody ever comes to view - I think I will stop bothering.

I like to view those beautiful cacti when this thread pops up

I always enjoy seeing your plants

I am more disappointed by the lack of discussion of cultivation and the pseudo-information that gets spread around by people "identifying" san pedro cacti. I wish there was more scientific information about these plants so we could actually know something, but it's all mostly hearsay and conjecture.

 

[D.REYx420]

The A. fissuratus and A. retusus are friggen amazing man, I really need to start getting these slower growing genus and moar globulars. The only things that flower for me right now have the daintiest little flowers and I want to start to get moar of a flower show like you

 

[D.REYx420]

Here is my mammillaria nejapensis with its little flowers and this little guy that I left out when I brought everyone else in this year to hopefully flower since apparently its trying to from the cooler weather.

 

[D.REYx420]

ah and the one with the little flower bud is a Chamaelobivia 'Rose Quartz', so Id really love to see that one flower for sure.

 

[oetzi13]

Serra Blue x Huanucoensis - a beauty
Kimuras SP x SS02 -- one hella fast grower!

 

[Spanishfly]

Ah - a flurry of activity with some nice pics. Things are maybe looking up.

 

[Spanishfly]

Here´s a couple of old venerables - my Pachypodium lamerei - my mother gave me this - it was growing on her bathroom windowsill.

and my Astrophytum myriostigma.

I have had both of these about 16 years. Both about due a repot - NOT a job I am looking forward to.

 

[D.REYx420]

wow that Pachypodium is friggen boss lol I have a prolly 2 foot one with tons of branches and I cant imagine what that would look like after 16 years with as many branches it has already.

 

[cave paintings]

Beautiful pictures everyone!

A Ferocactus (wislizeni?)
And another friend I haven't gotten to identifying.

 

[D.REYx420]

The bottom cactus is a Gymnocalycium baldianum I think because I got one at the very begining of spring that was flowering and the flowers and tucked in spines look spot on.
Here is the Pachypodium that I was saying I have right now, and I cant imagine all of those basal branch things growing to become like spanish's pachypodium.

 

[Spanishfly]

D.REY - that is going to be a real beauty !!! How old is it now? Mine took 16 years to get where it is !!

 

[D.REYx420]

I'm not quite sure how old it is because I picked it up from a home and garden store in August, but it has to have some years on it already or else its just an amazingly abundant grower.

These aren't mine, but I had to stop and take some photos. Two nice big San Pedros blooming up a storm.
