Bachs nursery in Tucson AZ

Post by keith »

I was at Bachs a few years ago what a great place. In the small greenhouse in front there are some really nice big plants. The entire Nursery is filled with cactus with many green houses , many acres I guess.

I'm far from an expert, but I feel like the first photo in your second post isn't an Astrophytum. Maybe a Pilosocereus? Something along the line of P. magnificus or P. fulvilanatus maybe?

Might be one of those A. ornatum-myriostigma-type hybrids :-k . I salivate whenever I go to Bach's.

More pictures of Bachs and with one new unknown cactus. The other unknown I think is a really tall astrophytum ornatum ?
