If you got them now you might water them and I know what happened to both yours and a friends adenium in winter

Would you be able to get a closer pic of the plant in the second pic that is in the same pot as the large cereus please betty?

Very nice collection there, looks like you have astro overload though. hehe

Thanks PD - it seems I have just a slight astro overload

Here you go

Thanks Betty, that is a beautiful trichocereus there, got any info about it???? Looks like T peruvianus "rosei" from where i sit but is hard to ID from photos.

PD I am not sure, I put it down as t. macrogunus when I searched ?? This is the plant I got it from pics were taken 5 months apart. As you can see it has had some surgery and grown heaps

What a fantastic plant. Is that one yours ?

I wish it was, its my friends.
I will do a post in a week or two on cacti they have for sale with contact details.

They do not have a computer so it will be by my pics and phone or through me until I leave the district.

Later Betty. I am not to be trusted

Sorry the pics are all over the place, it took me long enuff to upload them on dial up so be stuffed if im screwin around too much more, im just waiting for the computer to crash so i lose it all, that would make my afternoon :S.

I have another 2 garden beds full at another location and being in ground they are goin crazy. Will get out there and get sum pic soon. As you would all be aware the collections are constantly evolving, i hope to get all my plants in the ground eventually and just keep one specimen of each at home with me.

Hey Pd looking good lots of variety What are the seedlings in the first pic?

Lookin forward to seeing the one's that are growing in the ground

Awesome PD. Thanks for posting. Some interesting trichos you have there.

Hey, first pic Ive managed to post ! thanks for the instructions . this is a pic of our purpose built garden for larger cactus we have been collecting .. plants mainly for propagation.

oops, guess I have to start again.

Lois they are looking great

You might want to try a little name change on the monstrose try Lophocereus schottii monstrose

thanks Betty, we got this guy from the Bendigo Showgrounds market after Rod had seen it at the owners home a couple of weeks previous.Rod didnt stop talking about it so when we saw it there it was get out the wallet time.we've had it for a while now but I didnt have a pic and was using the growers lable but knew it was 'nt exactly right.

WOW! Gracie this is one really cool plant. i really want this type, its the 'fatter' version of this monstrose, called lophocereus schottii monstrose fma. obesa.
There is also a thinner version which i do have called 'mieckleyanus'.

<<<<<<<<<< heres mine

i noticed your avitar Lewis because we picked up (literally) a piece of cactus just like yours and after scanning though web pics decided that it must be "mieckleyanus " I v e been trying to contact the owner to see if he knows more about the plant as its about 120cm tall, not very good condition but might make some good propagation material. no luck so far. the bit we got had been knocked off and was lying on the ground. ,(about 8cm long)
