Re: A few ELK Pics
Chris, in the pic above the elephant's foot, are there two tall obesa in the centre, with a meloformis or valida to the right of them?
And over to the right of the pic, are those smaller younger obesa?
It's veeeery lucky I didn't go

Julie there were more obesa and near relatives than you could shake an entire tree at, let alone a stick!:lolbt:

Good Morning.
Excellant pics Chris. looks like absolute paradise for the cactophile.I would have probably bankrupted myself if I`d been there. One of the guts from Exeter was going to get me some bits so will be interesting to see what he got.

Thanks for posting - one of these years I will have to persuade the family to take a holiday to ELK.....
what are those digitostigma-thingys grafted on? They look very fat!

Re: A few ELK Pics
Wow... David, just as well I wasn't there.
My mother said, so you have a space on your window sill now? )with the demise of Little Y) I said, are you kidding? It just means the others are slightly less cramped.

Looks like there were more Digitostigmas than you could shake a tree at as well!

Re: A few ELK Pics
Yes and they still weren't all that cheap. I did buy some seed though! Jez, they are grafted on Ferocactus glaucus which is becoming an increasingly popular stock as it's robust and its easy to deal with offsets.

Re: A few ELK Pics
And the prices varied tremendously for those, you had some tables charging nearly as much for a freshly grafted "catapillar" as others were for a plant with half a dozen tubules.
