Used to be notocactus right? I can split up number 2 aswell if you want a bit, let us know what you have to spare

Yep previously Notocactus. Wouldn't mind a pup yeah. I will have a look around at what I can offer you. Got a few things in mind already.

no worries, this one has some nice rooted pups, the other that your interested in only has 1 rooted pup so i will have to detach a few more and root em

I don't mind one with roots and one or two (or whatever amont you feel like trading really) without roots. As long as the non rooted ones are calloused there shouldn't be a problem.

i just divided this one, as you can see it had heaps of pups and was getting crowded so have about 10 plants now

I have 10 spare Gymnocalcyium so let me know what you want and i'll put the rest up for trade

I will just grab two, I'm sure there will be some interest if you put some up for trade in the trade and sell forum. I know of someone here who collects Gymnos.

no worries, will put 2 aside

also what species is in your pic? Those are the sorts o love, small globular species with big flowers

My avatar? It's an Astrophytum asterias var. nudum.

Will probably have a bunch of these for trade and sale, but I'd say not for a few years. A year at the minimum. I have quite a few seedlings of this variety growing.

You can sometimes pick them up on ebay in Australia. They aren't particularly cheap though.

Gymnocalyciums - keen for two.

no worries, will just put the last 6 into the trade/sale section then will pm you

#1 could be rebutia miniscula - can't be sure though

i have a Rebutia albiflora, alot smaller but definatly looks similar so could be a Rebutia

How cool are those Rebutia albiflora. I've been growing one for a few years now, growing really well, like a carpet of white fuzzy lumps lol had heaps of flowers this last season. Will post another thread about it with some pics soon.

Might cut some pups off for trade too. A really good cactus to have around I reckon.

i got mine from bunnings about 6 months back, died back a bit from being put in sun but has started to take off again, cant wait till it gets some size on it

#1 I think is Parodia haselbergii. How big is it? If the main stem is more than a couple of inches across it's probably not a Rebutia. Either way, you'll find it has beautiful orange-red flowers.

#2 is Echinopsis backebergii, and a pretty nice specimen too. It should have pink flowers with long, dagger-like petals.

your sure on number 2? i dont think the flowers were like that and also all the pics i can find of the sp have short spines not these long twisty ones

Quote :

#2 is Echinopsis backebergii

You reckon it is? Looks different to me. Though now you mention it it does look a lot like an Echinopsis sp.

Still happy to trade for a few pups BTW hornet, whatever it may be.

I will be able to ID it better if I am growing it and can see it in the flesh, so to speak.

Yeah,
I'm still leaning towards the fact that #1 is a gymno.

I think it might be: Gymnocalycium moserianum, there are some variants of those that have the long curved spines, similar to the picture.

^^^^I always thought this was E. backebergii^^^^

It's my experience that E. backebergii exists in both a long spined and a short spined form (var. winterana). Flowers may also vary, although the clone that I have has pink flowers with long, delicate petals.
