Re: Hutchison Borzicactus/Cleistocactus
I should really have updated this when I fould out more. Firstly, PH 205.01 is a Paul Hoxey collection, not a Paul Hutchison number, and is from the same location as the GC plant that Graham Charles used as the type in his 2010 first description. I did get in contact with the herbarium and, despite ...

Re: S. Mirabilis soldiers on...
I question the supposed short-livedness of this species, and wonder if it's not just a case of several factors - they're self-fertile, [for most people] easy to germinate, and adult plants get scruffy once the first flush of growth slows after a couple of years: they certainly seem tired. Perhaps fe...

Re: Lobivia albolanata R585a
The flower is always nice (my plant's is much paler) but this plant earns its keep even out of flower - and mine isn't very woolly.

Re: Echinopsis Subdenudata ailing pups...
I've noticed a similar thing with my plant. It's only ever produced one branch and this stayed very small for years but I notice that it's starting to take off.

Re: Austrocactus - secondary germination
It's annoying when you've given up on a pot of seed and reused the compost for something else, only for it to germinate very much later. I've no idea what this is.

Re: Plant ID please #3
The lower photo on this page https://www.cactuspro.com/lecture/Rausc ... 68.en.html shows just how variable this plant can be at a single locality. It's easy to understand how plants in different valleys got given different names, across hundreds of miles of Peru.

Re: Copiapoa coquimbana var. pendulina
I have this FR504. As I was taking the photo I was thinking what an ugly plant it is! I'd disagree with you, Norbert, that they're all beautiful (in cultivation, at least).

Re: Id’s please
The Tunilla looks to be the plant I received from Bill Greenaway as T. chilensis (ex Machler). You'll know if it's the same plant when the flower opens as it has bits of green stigma growing out of the anthers - very odd. I've brought bits to TSG meetings in the past.
