I’ve gathered up some pics to share as promised to u/analbeavergland in a previous post so here goes…

I’ve been blessed by the freaky gods with some special phenotypes of Misplant’s scopulicola x VAL-VRG. I usually only keep a couple of each cross I grow, if any, but out of 1000 or so I held onto about 40 of these. This cross is known to put out colored flowers, so along with watching their growth transform, I’m excited for some surprises as they reach maturity!

So far, these four have been cut and shared with friends in the community.

#1 Snoo0p VRG, #2 Sméagol, #3 Déagol, #4 Stinkfist. Into the wild!

Been itching to cut #5 and prop #6. More to come…

Started with "how many cactuses can I fit in this" to "how many TBM stands?" Seven. Seven stands. Maybe more if you had more time but for now, seven stands.

If I can find bigger tiered planters...

Pumice is to keep the soil from flowing out. I'm not worried about excess moisture because it's a terra cotta pot and I live in San Diego. Only thing I'm worried about now is where to put it, it'll need shade for the whole afternoon and I'm running out of spots.. I'll figure it out, always do.

Peace 😎🌵

Germed a good amount of open pollinated tric seeds, and this one looked different than the rest, does it look like a potential crest?

Thank you all for an amazing 4 years!

Shout out to the person who sent me my first (and only!) San P in a giveaway. I nuked my former account, so I can't find the user to give proper credit. I'm about to pot up a couple inches in diameter once we're squarely in the dry season. I love my little guy.

growing like a weed. Definitely my favorite cactus that I own.

Tis the season

Got this a while back with some San Pedro. Was wondering if it was a Bolivian Torch or a San Pedro. Thank you!

what happened to these grafts? and what should I do when I try again other than make fresh clean cuts?

it was difficult to hold the weirdly shaped crests in place, but they seemed connected properly... did I apply too much pressure? not enough ?

I pulled them off after 5 days when it was obvious they were not taking so I'd have a chance to redo it before they rotted.

I'm considering a V graft, like with trees to ensure more contact and less shifting.

Met a really cool dude moving out of the country and he hooked me up!!! Wish I knew more of the cultivars but there’s a lumberjack, jado, hippie bridge, tbm-c(melted wax), tbm-b, and a whole lot of 4 ribbed genetics! Some of them are rotting from the cut ends (he was leaving in less than a week so everything was cut down a little sloppy and unsanitary) but this just gave me a LOT of work to do 😅

I ran several AI plant identifiers and I’m getting different guesses. What do y'all think?
