Hello everyone

[mostly]

Hi, I'm Len. I recently signed up to the forums, and subscribed to the BCSS.

I have been growing cacti for a few years now, each year sees more started from seed than the previous. My favourite species include aztekium, copiapoa, gymnocalycium, lophophora, rebutia and sulcorebutia. I hope to practice with grafting in the future, now there is many seedlings to sacrifice for the cause.

Here is a few pics, some with flowers from this year :

Astrophytum asterias


Copiapoa montana


Gymnocalycium eurypleurum, 3 heads


Gymnocalycium ragonesii


Gymnocalycium taningaense GC396.02


Lophophora diffusa


Lophophora fricii RS404B


Lophophora jourdaniana


Lophophora koehresii FPAN328, 3 of the 4 flowers so far this year



Lophophora williamsii v. decipiens


Lophophora williamsii


Pelecyphora strobiliformis


Rebutia heliosa


thanks for looking, Len.

Thank you all for the welcome!

Hello and welcome. What is the sizes of your Lophophora, the last four?

Hi anders, the Lophophora koehresii is 62mm and I have one larger at 70mm. The v. decipiens is 67mm and one offset forming. The williamsii is 52mm. They are by far my favourite species, half my collection is lophophora!
