Tech Ignoramous need some help!

Hi guys. I have been a long time reader. Love the website. I am trying to post some of my indoor garden photos: lophs 2.5 years old, and some small pedros . . .
I read the FAQ; I just am wondering on what server you post your photos so they can be posted here. Does every one have there own websites?
One of my little lophs is odd looking, looks like a Siamese twin or something, and really want to get some feeback as to what is going on with it. I appreciate your help, and sorry for being such a pain in the ass.

Thanks TJ. After posting, I had a chill run up my spine and a fear that someone names Taetzolcoatl was going to offer me help . . .

2.5 years . . . sloooooooooooooow. This year they have started to grow- probably doubled in size. I think I was being way too much of a protective parent with them, frightened of direct light. But I think they are doing fine now. Maybe I can eat them . . . when I am fifty. I was going to graft them, but really in no rush, and have so many plants in my condo already that the thought of perskiopsis and big loph pots is tuning me off. I think they'll make the best retirement party ever.

Out of the fifty or so that I have, only that one looks odd like that. It seems really healthy and all, but I would love to know if anyone has seen that before and what is going on with it?

any idea about the mutant? I have never seen that in any photos of small lophs . . .
Yeah, I should graft some, but i'm in no rush and really don't have the space.

i have one like that , it turned out to be a lophophora w monstrose
which i think that will also happen to that one, also imo you do have the room to graft, i see that you have some small pedro, well they are smaller and would be great for grafting. then just buy a nice thick rooted pedro and use it for cuttings/pup stock/etc
good luck

Thanks Royer- I really appreciate your help. How old is your monstrose? Do you have a photo? I think you are right about mine; that was my theory as well. I just don't think I have ever seen a photo of a loph monstrose that small.

wow- that's really cool. That has to be what is going on with mine; it looks like its older brother. I have no intention of selling any of them. About 10 or so years ago, I saw a story in High Times about Leo Mercado and Peyote. I loved the idea,and the look of the cactus (was like a fantasy to grow them), but didn't think about it again for a long time. In 2005, I, just bored on the computer,found some links, ordered some seeds and, well . . . my girlfriend says that I am like Gollum with my "precious". She jokes that if there is ever a fire, make sure to wake her up after I save the cactus.
