| I particularly like the Turb. Any idea on the age of the specimen? What species is it? | |

| Looking good KanJe I think the turb is a Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus, originally grafted the de-grafted, the original growth point of this particular specimen has stopped growing or has otherwise sustained some damage, then it produced the many offsets from the surrounding areoles..? | |

| Firstly, I should have mentioned that some of the plants shown above are not all mine and are plants in my green house that I'm looking after at the moment. I can't really take credit for them all.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Turb originally came from a grower by the name of Giovanni. I would only be guessing if I told you the age. It's harder to tell considering it was grafted at one point.
I think Lewis is right on the species but I'll double check tonight. | |
