Pic 2 & 3 - Young tricho's settling in to some new soil, and a couple of young Lophophora fricii in the corner. Pic 4 - T. bridgesii fma. monstrose with some nice developing pups. Pic 5 & 6 - Some of my older Lophophora williamsii specimens, and one Lophophora koehresii. Pic 7 - Decipiens?, var. texana, small mature williamsii, and a couple of caespitose willy's. Pic 8 - Lophophora williamsii, possibly a decipiens? Not sure at this point, but it is similar in appearance. Pic 9 - Lophophora williamsii, unsure of the clone. Visually similar to the "Kikko" clone, but not a Kikko. An interesting specimen nonetheless Pic 10 - Lophophora williamsii, "Kikko" clone. Pic 11 - One of my most treasured specimens: Lophophora williamsii cristata, grafted onto Trichocereus bridgesii. Will post a few pictures of my older trichocereus specimens some time soon! I do love that cristata - that is a rare one !! Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

That is quite nice. I hope to have such beautiful cacti some day. Looks like I'll have to wait until I'm 50 to have a huge Lopho cluster  Some day... You are me and I am you, I'll always be with you...

I can´t say I care for it very much - a whole mass of small heads, the vast majority of which have never flowered. Not at all like a natural peyote clump in habitat. Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

Nathaniel, are you going to root them or leave them attached? Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

I am going to cut the biggest branch next year and probably give it to my friend to grow. Depending on how large the upper branches get I may or may not cut them at that time as well. I really would like to try a graft some time but that will be further down the road. I'm really holding my breath for a flower some time! I was also thinking about trying to bonsai a little cutting just so I can have it in my room and not take up so much space. Mini pedro cactus?  edit: in case anyone was wondering, I made the glass that adorns my cactus pots. More where that came from!  You are me and I am you, I'll always be with you...

Well thank you! I'll be doing lots of glass casting this semester so I'll probably switch things up once I make some new pieces. ^^^That spider looks scary! Do you know what kind it is? I get little spiders on my cacti but they are just regular house and garden spiders. I welcome them to protect my plants from harm! They don't like when I move my plants, though, so they are often transient. You are me and I am you, I'll always be with you...

Idk what kind it is but it's usually like the other post I have above it and there just daddy long legs, but there was that guy today. I only have maybe half a month before I have to bring them in for dormancy though so I will have to rid them of spiders lol "we are not human being's having spiritual experiences, we are spiritual being's having human experience's."

I once had one like that living in the door mirror of my car. We went thousands of miles together! It was real neat - he would be in his web - then I would shut the door and he would run into the mirror - and off we went. Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

Ok i was going to wait till the whole crown of flowers flowered but i cant wait. This is my mysterious mammillaria of some sort, Ive never known of the I.D. just narrowed it down to a mammillaria but i could be wrong.
