hi everybody
new to forum, wanted to say thank you for letting me in and hello to all - how impressive is this forum!!
i'm cactus collector for some years, yet my field of activity is limited to my living room (my wife restriction - won't discuss it here )
and... first challenge, i need help: does anybody know if Echinopsis atacamensis is synonymus of Trichocereus pasacana, and any more details about plant - seem quite unpopular online, very little information
particularly i wanted to ask about common sizes of those in european houses (especially in london uk ) as i'm proud of my own ones size (little competition here )
ok, this and that, looking forward to get answers, and happy to help if i can!
spiky day everyone

With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
