It’s some form/variation of Thelocactus Conothelos. This phenotype or clone whatever you want to call is a special one. It just keeps growing and offsetting like crazy and flowers like that from early spring till the end of growing season

Little early summer update

Vingames1 · Post by **Vingames1** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:15 pm

Here’s just an update over the past month or so. It’s been a good growing season and we even got rain this summer which usually doesn’t happen so that was good for the front yard plants. Also crossed my Ferocactus rectispinus with a Leuchtenbergia so hoping for some ferobergia in the near future. Thanks for looking

Beautiful plants! What's genus is IMG_7656?
Looking at previous posts, you seem to have a few Echinofossulocactus/Stenocactus. Got any new pictures of those?

Absolutely stunning. What's species are IMG_7716.jpeg and IMG_7718.jpeg? The wool on those is beautiful.
IMG_7722.jpeg is a S. phyllacanthus? I recently purchased a 3-headed S. tricuspidatus, which is apparently the same as S. phyllacanthus. It looks very different than the S. phyllacanthus I have. Mostly talking about spine lenght.
In your opinion, are Stenocactus more prone to sun stress / sun burn compared to other globular cacti?

Not sure about 16 but 18 is Steno Albatus. Also I have probably 5 different phyllacanthus localities and they all have different spines and wool but for the most part they are pretty similar. As far as sun I grow all mine in full sun. I actually grow most of my stuff in full sun here in Southern California, USA. 80% of my collection is seed grown by me. I usually buy seed packs of 20 or so and by the time the plants are a year old I usually don’t have many survivors but the ones I do are very hardy and I sell the rest

So the Ariocarpus “called it”. I guess the growing season is about over which is always kind of sad but they need their rest and it makes spring that much better!

Those are nice Ariocarpus! How old are they? And how big/tall are the pots?

We’ll I’ve had them for probably 9 years.. there in 6” pots

It took almost a decade to fill a 6" pot?! Now that's some admirable progress!

Noted. I shall wait just as long to get mine to be as big as yours. Things change a lot in a decade, so those cacti will see lots of stuff in the future. Like, if they manage to stay alive and well, they'll probably witness the end of One Piece for all we know.

Thanks for the reply!

With growing season just about done, it’s time to sow some seeds. Probably going to do some thelocactus, stenocactus, and haageocereus, and ariocarpus this year. Here’s some flowers from throughout this year. Thanks for looking

Was out looking for mouse bites and bugs and got a couple pictures. First one is some Saguaros and second is some of my favorite seed grown Echinocereus. Thanks for looking
