Morning steemers,
Just got back from a visit to a random nursery in New South Wales and couldnt help but snap theses apparently rare and incredibly beautiful cactaceae specimens.
Trichocerueus 'Nothink' from the top, there is a bit of a debate as to the exact species of these.
Some say pachanoi some say peruvianus and others say it may be a hybrid between the two.
Whatever the exact species may be these cacti are stunning in real life. It was hard to show the size in a picture as they were about 15ft tall and the weather was really overcast, but I am sure you can imagine the presence they have!
Can you believe these are both from the same plant?? Just tiny "Pups" in comparison to the main leader of the plant.
A close up of the spine arrangement.
Now I usually dont blink an eye to cacti but for some reason these guys had a real presence about them, not to mention they were fucking huge!!! :-)
Hope you enjoyed this spiky story steemers.
Happy gardening,
Sam.
