Re: Hutchison Borzicactus/Cleistocactus

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.

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: 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).
