Cereus hildmanianus v spiralis

Subject: Cereus hildmanianus v spiralis Sat Dec 19, 2009 7:56 pm

Does anyone know where I could get Cereus forbesii v spiralis clones, or seeds, or something? I've seen similar plants named C.hildemanianus spiralis - etc. But i suspect that they are the same thing even though these two (at least) are not synonyms.
Cheers

Wow indeed
I recall that Vlado had Cereus "somethingorotherensis" "twisted" on his seed list, might be worth a look

Its good to some cactuses getting into the spirit of things and enjoying themselves a little at Xmas.

Anyway thanks for the replies. From what little Ive read it is a bit hard to come by, at least in clone form. I'll check Vlado (once I've figured out how to access his price list... I'm sure I used to have one). I also saw a site in Holland that said they sold seeds.

It sort of seems that there was only one original spiral plant. So I suppose the seeds could produce a variety of pheno's, because the original spiral clone would have to crossed with a non spiral plant. I saw some pictures of small plants which twisted one way then the other etc , but it didn't say whether they were cuttings or from seed.

There's a local Ebay seller offering seeds. Likely to be sold out by the time anyone reads this but may be worth keeping an eye on in case they get more stock.

I have a batch of c. hildamannianus seedlings, some are showing some monstrose growth, I swear I had one that looked like it was stuck in a spiral motion. Will try get a pic.
