enjoy.
and if anyone can help id row 4 and 5? gymo??? copiapoa???
cheers

Cool plants SP.

In row 4 looks like you have Gymnocalycium ragonesii & also a Sulcorebutia sp. by the looks of it.

Row 5 looks like a crested? Ferocactus sp. and a Gymnocalycium sp.

That at the bottom with the black spines is great I really like that one. A Copiapoa sp.? Very cool.

yeah copiapoa cineria, i have recently grown very attached to all of the copiapoa's. lucky we have a great shop down here that sells them, although it is a little dangerous

Yeah I know about that shop, buy a few of their cacti on ebay actually, great plants.

Actually someone from that shop is a member here

Cool, I really like the Copipoa genera too. Can see myself spending alot of money on them over the next few years. The Mexicans will always take 1st place for me though.

Some nice Trichos too btw, good fat multistemmed one in there, really like that one. Looks like a bridgie?

yeah that is my first cactus, besides the pet one i had when i was a kid, just a pach but very special to me , picked up a cutting from vic markets about 5 years ago, and thrived on neglect untill my new found love for cacti came about early this year. what can i say? i'm a full blown cactiphile, i'm even thinking of moving house so i have more room and sun in my yard

lol, sounds like me, though I need to move if I want to collect with complete seriousness. Damn shadow!

Keep it up mate, your collection is coming along nicely and looks nice and healthy to boot. Thanks for sharing.

Cool nice copiapoas S P the cinerea is a beauty

The haseltonnia is soooooooo clean looking

Id's unsure about the 1st one fifth line, it reminds me of something but what???? agree with Trig on the others.

dose that mean we get a ACF cactophile discount at that shop

nice plants mate, cheers for the cutting off your special plant

Very nice collection SP!!
rows 4+5:
Gymnocalycium ragonesei
Sulcorebutia sp.
Gymnocalycium multiflorum (monvillei) (double headed and variegated=beauty!)
Gymnocalycium sp. (variegated also)

CC has such good prices for Copiapoas. a 4in potted plant in shop is $15. eg. C.cinerea... when they list the exact same size plant on ebay it sells for over $50-60!!

I know I will have to get one befor they put the price up!

Their prices for C. cinerea are great, snap them up as there might not be anymore coming. The main grower of Copes in Vic stopped growing plants a while ago now. They might be growing their own but I'm not sure.

yeah.. i am not sure where they get them from. they either get them from another grower or grow them themsleves from seed. don't know where they get the seed from if thats the case then though. they either have large mature specimens as stock plants... or they import it.

i'd say they have big mother plants on their farm. i'd love to have a look at their farm one day

I doubt they will give an ACF discount lol. The member I refer to hasn't even made a post as far as I know. You would have to ask them, I bet I know what their answer would be too lol.

On another note if anyone wants to pick me up a couple of C. cinerea from CC I would be fovever in your debt (or you get free Mexican seeds of various types, whichever you prefer)...please let me know if anyone wants to help me out.

Sorry about the hijack too.

Trig I am not 100% sure but I think you will find its his brother at CC

Who's brother? Not sure I follow you Betty. Though it is late (ish)

I think I know who parrotsheaven is talking about, but now I'm all curious too. who is this mystery cc member. I love a good mystery. But we'll never know unless they come out themselves.

i should get a few more CCs from CC. such an awesome plant, and a nice investment for someone my age.

So do you feel like picking me a up a couple while you are there lewis ol' buddy ol' pal?

Awsome plants SP!
They might not have any more? :'( I was actually going to purchase one when i got to CC eventually, this sucks

cheers michael.
hopefully i'm working out that way this week so i can get some more,
if i have enough coin i might try to get one for you too trig
