Hey all,
Been lurking around for years but just got around to posting.
I was at the local Nursery and saw some interesting looking specimens, wondered if anyone had any clues:



Thanks!

Welcome to the Shroomery, Sku1dugg3ry :sunny:

The centre one is perhaps Myrtillocactus schenckii?

None are 'active'

Thx harmless.
K two new questions:
1) best resource for gaining cactus knowledge?
2) are any cacti poisonous? Like if I go around eating random ones can I kill myself/fry my wetware?

1) hang around here and you will surely improve your cactus knowledge
Anyhow, this is a link for a very intresting enciclopedia about cactus  : Cactuspedia

2) while there's not such a thing as a  "poisonus" cacti, you should beware of euphorbias, wich secrete a white milk-like fluid that is enought dangerous to kill people. (many people mistake euphorbias for cacti)

Anyhow, i guess that one might accidentally eat things in the likes of polaskia, cereus, or myrtillocactus, plants that can be mistaken for active trichs, and wont give any psicadelic effect, but would reasonably not kill you for sure.

Anyhow, we are always here to help you identify your cacti. so my suggestion is : never eat something that was not identified by multiple members of our community

I'm no expert but none of these are pachanoi or peruvianus or bridgesii or scopulicola which are the ones you would be seeking. But these are lovely cacti, you are lucky to have a nursery with such a range near by. Where I am theres only 2 succulent nurseries who have tiny cacti sections.

Upon further investigation the blue is a pilocereus. They're rlly cool. I also wanted to show off the noncactus pic cuz that plant is just so weird.
And yeah I'm thankful there's a cool Nursery nearby as well.
Still haven't found anything active there yet tho lol

The second one is a Pilosocereus sp. as well, but more important is the one to the right of it: it appears to be the spineless form of Opuntia fragilis and said to be an excellent stock for grafting. :wink:

How the heck can a Datura get this big? Thought at first it was a brugmansia because of the size, but there are so many thornapples seen in there, brusmansia's seedpots are very rare and do look different (no thorns afaik).

I'm pretty stunned! Sadly there's no flower in this picture.

Sounds like you know what it is, but want someone to ID it to be sure. Also, it is clearly not at the nursery. It appears to be planted and tended by someone.

Guess the climates just right? They're literally everywhere in this one spot. I have a picture of a flower, but its not open yet. I think flowering season is mostly past. But they are white when they open I'm pretty sure. Only saw open ones at might, so could maybe be offwhitish like this flower?


Also Krator, after I posted it I remembered I'm part of a Facebook group that identifies plants so I stuck it there too. And no that was growing wild on the way to the nursery lol.

Edit: if u were talking about the pilocereus, yeah that totally was at the nursery.

Nope. Honest there's this one street next to this empty lot on the way to the grocery store where they just sprout up willy nilly all along the road.

I checked out the cactuspedia and only looked up Blue Myrtle - Myrtillocactus geometrizans. The info is not completely accurate. They produce blue berries, not red. Also, they are very easy to root, even as small cuttings. I recently rooted six 2 inch pieces. A couple of weeks in soil, next to a CFL lightbulb.

if you dont lose time, you can harvest some seeds from that datura. Pods are ready and some already cracked and empty, but some may be full.
