O. phaeacantha seeds
I have a large plant (v. comanchica) in my cactus garden with lots of fruits. You pay the postage and I will harvest the seeds for you and send them. I just threw away a bunch of pads which I pruned off but may be able to get a couple more if you want them. You can PM me with your answer and address...

OK, I just have to chime in on this issue. I also live in North Central Texas and built a new greenhouse last fall. I thought about it for several years before I built so here is what I can tell you: Consider the kind of plants you plan to grow and then the location and the size. The city ordnance d...

Yes, Peter, I think Sul Ross is sort of like the cactus Vatican. They also have a wonderful cactus garden and greenhouse. How were you able to get seeds from them? Several years ago I bought one of their plants from CDRI. It is a brevahamatus X pallidus and at ten years old is a very nice specimen. ...

Well, Loph if you really hate cooking you probably won't want to mess with preparing opuntia. But here is what I know/do: Most folks here in Texas know the pads as Nopales and when prepared as food as Nopalitos (Spanish). So, I usually harvest the pads in the spring when they are fully grown but not...

C. Missouriensis
Thanks Daiv. My dad planted it many years ago and my mother gave it to me after he passed away in 1979. It has been in the same pot all this time, left outside, and never been fertilized.

OK Peter, maybe #2 is not a sulcata. I was basing the ID on the shape and spine density of the picture but if the photo was take near Lajitas then it probably is an atypical echinus. It still closely resembles the sulcatas in my collection. I was thinking maybe you could go back when it blooms and f...
