drool drool
That's a really nice collection cactusjack.
I particularly like the Aztekium and the two Pelecyphora.
Not to mention the maturity of all the Lophophora there.

Great work!!
It's obvious all the time and love you have put into your plants.

Have you been collecting long or have you bought these plants at an older age?

Been collecting for over nearly 9 years, most of the plants you see in these photos were picked up around the place from different growers in different states, the smaller plants in photo 9 are my own seed grown plants, also have plenty more seedlings in the shed.

I am growing the following from seed: Ario's (mainly retusus & agavoides), lophies all species, turbs (mixture of species), pelecyphora (mixture of species), obregonias, mam pectinfera, epithelantha (mixture of species), gymnocactus mandragora and beguinii and astros (mixture of species and cultivars)

Also grow some Euphorbias and couple of dozen tricho's

Nice cacti Jack! Some real rarities there. It's not too often you see a Geohintonia mexicana in cultivation in Aus. Must try and get some seeds for that one. How hard are they to cultivate?

Those Arios are real nice and those lophies are amazing. That caespitose one is huge, any idea on the age?

Also that looks to be a crested loph Shocked is that one you grew from seed?

Very impressive selection of extremely well-grown rarities! drool Very Happy i really like the Pelecyphora strobiliformis.
That last Lophophora seedling is very interesting, it looks to be either cresting or branching dichotomously..hopefully the former. Smile

I have only had this plant for a couple of months, apart from being very very slow I have been told they dont post
any major difficulties in cultivation.

No idea on the caespitosas age, I have had it 7 years, my friend had it for at least 10 years befor I got it.

The last pic is from a batch of 50 or so plants I grew from seed aprox 20mths old now i am hoping for a crest only time will tell.

Wow... Shocked

Those Aztekiums and Geohintonias are great - I haven't seen many of them in collections down this way. The Arios and Lophs are downright drool-worthy.

Cheers for the pics!
