Hey everyone,

So I’ve been working really hard these last couple weeks to get everything re-potted and organized for growing season. But everything’s looking nice. :) also sorry I know I took these pictures at night but I tryed to make it as bright as possible.

The set up on the back patio so far

Image

So interesting things happening with the plants!


The E. reichenbachii albispinus has developed 3 buds.

Image

One of the E. subdenudata has also developed 3 furry buds. This is my first time with multiple buds on the plants :)

Image

Also my Gymnocalycium burchii in flower.

Image

Some new additions!!

Image


Image

Image

And I just got crested panchanoi re-potted and I think it looks great.

Image

And that’s a taste of what I’ve been up to. A lot more to comes.

Some sort of Parodia I believe.

I have one of those ... at least the one I have has the same brownish highlights on the ends of the flower petals as your first picture does. Mine is a Gymnocalycium mihanovichi. Will turn a nice red/green color in the bright sun.

Here's a couple shots of mine. judge for yourself if yours is the same species as mine. I'm new at this and I've been known to be wrong once or twice. In the first pic, you can see the red/green color combo i mentioned. in the second picture, it's been in the bright sun for another year!!

You can see the brown highlights on the petals in both pics, although they are more apparent in the first.

I JUST got one of those day before yesterday ... at least they LOOK VERY similar ... mine is a Parodia werneri ... or at least that is what the label says. I haven't done any research on it yet.

The Gymnocalycium is G.horstii or its sub species buenekeri.
Yah ... I concur with the G. horstii ID ... i've got one, and THAT is the name that I ordered it under.

Hello Briguytm,
among a lot of other cacti I too do have the "Queen of the Night" (Peniocereus greggii). In addition to that you do have a similar looking plant (P. johnstonii). Does that plant also have fragrant flowers?
Another of your plant looks familiar too. It is the Peniocereus tepalcatepecanus. That plant reminds me of the P. maculatus in my collection.
For someone who has only been growing cacti for a short time, you have already established quite a good selection of healthy looking plants. :)

Yes the plants and flowers of greggii and johnstonii look similar. And johnstonii does have a very fragrant flower. :) And Yeah a lot of the Pineocerues have that spotted almost cheeta like patterns on them. Maculatus, tepalcatepcanus, roseii, and fosterianus, all look very similar.

Beautiful flowers!
In my experience, the echinopsis subdenudata grows better and faster with a little shade
