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.

Re: Hello everyone
Thank you all for the welcome!
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!anders wrote:Hello and welcome. What is the sizes of your Lophophora, the last four?
