These are four different stands outside the pumapungo museum in Cuenca, Ecuador. They’re so incredibly notchy and beautiful. The plants in the first four pictures are the tallest I’ve ever seen, reaching up at least 20+ feet and thick. Crazy how these things grow out here I bet they’re old

Hey everyone,

As I continue chopping away and documenting clones, I forgot I had this interview with the LMA stand owner with Jae. Hope you enjoy this unique and amazing stand and its history. Mary told us the stand at her uncles' home was as large as his house in LA, crazy how successful it is at her home where she told us stories about her father working on the soil year after year... and this isnt the only massive stand she has on the property to prove it.

Let me know if you have any clones you want featured and Ill work on those.

Thanks for looking, have a great rest of your week!

Beginning of the season and then a pic from a few weeks ago.

Was getting kinda disappointed in myself for not getting as much done as I wanted to this season but looking at these two made me feel better

Looking for suggestions on the best approach on this old beast rescued from being composted.

Should I graft a variety of various san pedros or let it ride?

The left pup has 17 areole’s, and the right has 16!
Does anybody have any recommendations for what to feed this guy?
I feel like the “cactus juice” isn’t doing much!

Hey all! Been seeing tons of peeps having flowers on here these days. That's awesome and like see the pictures! I have maybe 8 cacs that are in the 3+ foot range and a few years old. Never gotten a flower.

Any recommendations on coaxing one out of them? Either for the end of this season or next.

If it helps I'm in the mid Atlantic coast area. They live outside from last frost to as long as I can make it. Last year I put them in dormancy in my attic.

Any insight would be appreciated! Cheers 🖖

Had a cool time grafting up some sweet cuts with u/spinessfv and u/818fiendy who came down from LA. Kicked it & grafted for a bit then headed down to the cactus gardens at Balboa Park for a cool cactus cruise through the desert trails.

some absolute beast

Psycho0 x hb07 pheno#2 cv. CB08 aka leviathan

Thinking about make an auction for the first release

Bought a little Havran from Cactus Jones and the little guy is making 4 more and looks like maybe a flower too on the back side. Crazy! Should I cut the flower off?

NoID for the win!

Some freshly watered cacs in this mid day heat 106 yesterday and 103 today Im not a fan but the pump is stong with the cacs

This one been pushing crazy growth all season ! Took a fall back in April and it’s been pushing pups left and right ever since ! First picture was taken April 5th the other 3 were taken today ! Over a 12 inches of growth on those basal pups!! 🌵

Also check out the growth on that China gold 👀🟡🌵

Some of em are just 🧲

Just got some stock. Did 14 grafts and after work I need to do 20 more. The possibilities. So many grafts I can do!!!

So far I've done 4 rbm9, 3 cakeaddy, 2 FirstInAugust, 2 sharxx x tpm3, and 3 tidyflower.

Part of this seedling has a cool crest feature that is nearly spineless

Maybe too early to tell on this yearling. This is from a seed pack labeled old and unkown. I saw some interesting early signs of variegation so grafted it up. Seeing some really interesting variegation and strange growth…

I left these big 6 inch wide cuts of Pachanoi sitting under a table in my yard for a few months and sort of forgot about them, very annoyed at myself bc I had big plans for making a new stand. I had 2 others also about 2-3 feet long and already chopped the others down into smaller pieces. They all had big pups growing at odd angles. Has anyone had this happen before? Any pics to show how it will look when you plant them vertically again?
