Both of these cacti are growing on my college campus.

They are both extremely beautiful and large (basketball sized at least)

Here is the first one:


And here is number two:


Thanks for your help everyone!!

The first one is a Ferocactus and the other is Echinocactus grusonii.

Thanks man! I've been wondering for the past couple years but
never really thought to ask or look it up till now.

I wanna ask the campus grounds keepers if i can take a seed
pod from the ferocactus if it fruits. Are they self fertile?
I'm not sure if there's another on campus or not

I think that the Ferocactus is NOT self fertile.  Information on this is hard to come by, and even then unreliable, some species that I have read are not self fertile I have found to be self fertile, and vice versa.  It has obviously flowered, but I doubt you will find any seed. I had one for several years that looked just like that one - can´t remember the species now though - I gave it away eventually, it grew too large.  But it flowered every year, never got any seed though.

Ya it has definitely flowered a couple times since I have been going
there. There may be another on campus, I live in texas so cacti are
like their go-to ornamental around here :lol:

Thanks for your responses by the way, guys! I love the pictures you two
post! What about the Echinocactus?

I think some Ferocactus might be self fertile. I just got one that had plenty of seed pods on it. I didn't see any others around so I'd be surprised if a pollinator caused that many seed pods to start.

Echinocactus grusonii is a commonly grown, easily available, large barrel cactus.  Quite fast growing, it can reach a yard across in a couple of decades.  Will readily flower in good sun at 14" or so.  Glad you like the pics.

#3 is a Gymnocalycium - possibly G. baldianum - as always, some flowers would help.

You know I knew the spines were a bit off but I was just thinking it might have been the lighting or something.

You are completely right though. I've just never owned that plant so I didn't really have anything to go by there, I just knew it had some similar features to my Rebutia minuscula var. marsoneri:facepalm:

You know I was thinking it was a Gym but it just looked a good bit different from my 2 baldianums and I didn't know for sure so I skipped it.


I'm pretty positive on the others though:grin:
