Photo #1. Jerry Wright wrote: Joylene Sutherland of Australia mailed me a photograph of a Trichocereus she has, in hopes of identifying it, as all she knows it by is Trichocereus WK. She is quite sure that it was shipped to Australia in the early 1900's directly directly from South America. It is the most awesome Trichocereus I have ever seen, as it is huge! Can anyone in our discussion group assign a name to this beauty? |
The above two year old seedlings are from Margaret Gunn's cross between Lobivia famatimensis and Lobivia lateritia. If you click on the small picture you will be better able to study the variation among the seedlings, all of which came from the same pod. Since the time that this photo was taken in May,1999, many of the seedlings look even more like Echinopsis 'L.A.' offsets.
Dan A. Sims sent in the following five photographs of trichocereus and echinopsis hybrids, which he has cross-bred. The first is a Tricho hybrid he named 'Grace'. The second has been named 'Splendora' by his wife. 'Splendora','Un-named #1', and 'Cross106ds' are siblings from crosses between Purple Haze' x Diehl's Hybrid. The final 'Un-named #3' is an offspring of 'Rhinegold Sterntaler x 106ds.
