Very nice but I hope it isn't from the wild...
This I do not know but they get their cacti from someone in texas. Knowing nothing about it I paid 85$ for the sheer beauty of this cacti. I think its a lot but seeing the green makes me think they grew these like my lophs. With little to no water at all.

i bought some field collected fissuratus's but they weren't collected in the "wild" apparently they were building houses and just removed them. I think field collecting cactus isn't right but in that case its better than bulldozing over them, i paid 10$ a piece which was awesome he said the were probably 40 years old, i also bought a few he grew from seed they cost a little more and are too round for my taste but i like the genus and they were still a good deal. I went back when i had more money and all the filed collected A. fiss. were gone

That's an epic Ariocarpus ferrel. I would happily pay $200+ for something like that.

I treat repotting like going into a knife fight. Be prepared to get cut or stabbed.
That sig of mine is a recurring nightmare I have. I'll go to take a cutting or graft and the sneaky cactus will pull out a knife and stab me first. I have a wild imagination I know.

I once was admiring my cacti collection when I forgot I had a cutting underneath my bum bum. Can you imagine the pain of sitting on a trich?
Never again my man. I throw cuttings on the floor like im mad. Then they get mad back and bit me in my ass.

A spine in the arse makes you stand tall pretty fast.
I got cuttings laying around the inside my place and I warn people to be careful but they always get stuck and then blame the cactus for them walking into it. I tell them "It's not like it jumped out and stabbed you. I told you it was there"
The funniest was when this lady friend walked into a 3 inch bridgesii spine naked on the way to the toilet one night.

Is that a L. optica Rubra Tangich?
Just a random Ortegocactus macdougallii update.
29 Jan 2010

4 March 2010

6 June 2010

5 November 2011 regrafted onto Myrtillocactus

Today, 20 January 2013- Grew columnar even though given massive doses of sunlight. I've since read these do weird things when grafted so have accepted it for what it is.

It's in the genus Gymnocalycium but I'm not so great with these so couldn't tell you a definitive species name. Maybe G.damsii??
Hopefully someone corrects me.

Unfortunately not, it just looks discolored because of the screwy white balance. Not sure of the exact species, I still know very little about Lithops identification. I hope to soon have a L. optica 'rubra' in my collection as well, they are amazingly beautiful plants. I'm falling in love with Lithops and mesembs in general more and more.

remembering your words, that was my bid. i said 'fuckit!' if i'm a true cactophile, i gotta have it. needless to say the wife was not pleased. she went on a shoe shopping ramapage and thats the end of that.
