Neochilenia crassispina?

Hi, Got this one as Neochilenia crassispina. I tried the name search but it turns out to be an invalid name. What would be the correct name for it? http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2308_Neochilenia_crassispina_1006071_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2308_Neochilenia_crassispina_...

Thanks, Yeah, cacti stretching on all the way to the horizon, that would be nice :D . My greenhouse is full, I re-potted everything, a lot of them needed a larger pot and I am getting a bit cramped in space. I was planning to get me some more 'Delicatessen' but first I have to work on the space prob...

Thanks everyone, This is one of 2 seedlings both labelled as Parodia mammulosa, no ssp or other names. These come from an old man in my neighbourhood where I got my first plants from. He infected me with the cacti virus and maybe he gave me a infected cactus, Wallydraigle. But I never heard of such ...

Hi, Here in the Netherlands whe have long dark winters like in Canada. I have the best results when I keep them at 9 degrees celsius (48F) minimum. I've tried it, but 40F for a period of 4 months and more, like the winters here, stressed them to much. I don't use peat soil, to hard to get it wet aga...

Thanks Iann, I was never sure about the hahniana ID for Nr 2 because it didn't have bristles and up to six centrals. The flower looks right.

L. lumbricoides was a lucky find. It's rare in cultivation, here anyway. Mainly, I think, because the plant itself isn't very spectacular. Most people find it ugly, it has a lot of tubers which make it look a bit untidy. But from October on it starts to bloom and it turns into a flush of white flowe...

Oops, You're right! Forgot to type the hybrid behind it. Don't know the specific name though, got it labelled as Disocactus flagelliformis hybrid.
Tnx, I'll edit the post.
