Two Trichocereus grandiflorus hybrids, and a T. thelegonus (in white).

(Don't be fooled by that Echinopsis in the front of the first pic, the flower is coming off a different cactus behind it.)

Hi, this is a lophophora i have that's been flowering for the last few months, I'm not sure if it's diffusa or fricii but it's a fairly small cactus and very dark green in colour, it is producing seed but i don't know it the seed is sterile or not. It had a few pups but i cut them off so i could get  one large button that i can degraft and root

Maybe is Canna indica.
Seeds are used to make Santo Daime rattle, called maracá.

You sure that's a loph?  The flowers don't look like lophophora flowers to me.  They look more like certain astrophytum asterias flowers.

Edit: Nevermind, I see it now. The petals are just really pointed and frayed out.

No kidding?!  How cool!  Do they just use indica or any Canna in general?  What is used for the 'container'.. a gourd of some type maybe?

Canna in general. I prefer indica, seeds are smaller, sounds better to me.
Canna is not the only seed used, but is one of the best...almost a perfect sphere and hard....and also is used steel ball...louder sound...very nice, but who plays must be good, or sound bad and loud.

Container usually is a tomato souce container (I don't know a word for this). some places use a bigger one.

I have 2 maracás, both with Canna seeds (one is indica)...and I want one with steel balls. Not easy to find, but I will get one.

Yeah it's definitely a loph, just a bit of a mutant..it has grown a bit since these photos, I will upload a few recent pics so someone might be able to identify it for me. I think the long tapering petale is characteristic of l.diffusa

Turbinicarpus lophophorides graft with 22 flower buds on it!! It just keeps making new buds. Going to put on quite the show over the next few months.

Lophophora alberto flower #2  All of my other grafted albetos are about to flower too.  5 L. albertos flower at once. Hopefully I'll get some seeds.
