Post by: sporehead on May 22, 2015, 06:23:11 AM

Got these from teonanocatl. Potted some up and took some cuttings off for you guys. Just need to know what they are.

First two pics looks like Opuntia ficus-indica
Third pic is Echinopsis chamaecereus (syn. Chamaecereus silvestrii)
Last appears to be some sort of ornamental Opuntia. I hope you own tweezers. You'll see why ;)

Thanks! I already know about the spines. Tweezers made it worse. The spines just snapped off. Had em in my legs and arms and hands and everything. To arrange them for the pictures I just moved them around with scissors.
