  1. I don't see ox in the first one
  2. Hi Ron, if I look at the first and fourth photos, I can notice a touch of orange, in addition to blue and yellow, and it was this that made me think of a multi pelt Of course, it's really minimal, so I can't be 100% convinced it's just a guess, it could very well be Vacor
  3. From the beginning, as far as Block's marble is concerned, I was positive to Master only for the size, but not for the rest
  4. The second imperial, china, more likely, I cannot say about the first,...no Master
  5. Beautiful, size? Yes, I would say Alley, Sistersville I think....
  6. Bel Vitro, looking at the last photo has a bit of the conqueror, but I don't think it falls into this category
  7. Good day to you too! 👍
  8. When I won it at the auction it was not grafted, I grafted it later because it was very small, like a 5/8 + - marble 😀 so I grafted it for fear of losing it and to accelerate growth, in fact after two years it started to produce flowers. Over time it has produced suckers which I then put to root
  9. Your first is a cereus peruvianus "monstruosus" (monster) You will probably never see to flourisht , like almost all monster and twisted plants, since not having the natural apex therefore necessary to be able to bloom, this is very difficult or almost impossible, but there may be exceptions The second is a crested "euphorbia flanaganii" (scientific name), there are some varieties, same speech for flowering Yes, the third is a beautiful "Echeveria Shaviana" grassulaceous family, coveted and cultivated by many collectors of succulents for its blue shades of the leaves and the pinkish orange color of the flowers, even here there are perecchie varieties, "laui" for example, one of the most beautiful! The last yes, "passion flower" and is a very beautiful flower "Passiflora Piramide" "Passiflora Caerulea" (scientific name)....A climbing shrubby plant 👍
  10. Hello your wife's plant is "echinopsis subdenudata" (without thorns) or "pseudo echinopsis" ("false", in reality, in some they can appear very small and white like my twisted depicted above) The whole genus of echinopsis produce very beautiful flowers, even 20 cm long (7.87) and usually bloom at night hence the name of "beautiful at night" Usually, when they are soggy especially at the base is a sign of rot due most often to too much stagnant moisture, lethal to succulents and the plant is doomed. If so, the only remedy is to cut with a very sharp blade all the rotten part, let it dry for a few days (even a month if necessary) and then repot it in a bowl with three parts of common field land (very lean then) and only a part of universal land for generic plants, hoping that over time it will produce new roots. The achinopsis produce them easily, a little less the "subdenudata" but still possible Be careful though, your wife's plant does not seem to have rot from what I see in the picture, (moreover it would not have produced any flower if it had rot) it seems rather in a resting stasis and therefore the roots no longer absorb water for a certain period You should moderate the watering at this time and keep an eye on it for a period of time and if you insist this condition it is likely that not the plant but the roots have rotted, (it has already happened with one of mine of this spacie, since it has more delicate roots than other echinopsis) so it would be appropriate to remove the plant from the pot and check that these are still there or not. Mine no longer having any root, I grafted it for safety (I had already prepared a "tricho" ready for this operation) so I went on the safe side (or almost) and now vegetate quietly, moreover it produced some suckers that I detached and put to root and they also issued small trumpet flowers, very cute and fragrant More than this I do not know what to say to help you, however, it would still seem in good shape and the only thing to do is to keep it under control and evidently if this "stasis" were to insist for too long it is appropriate to do what has been said above.
  11. Hi Chad, I knew you would like these. Its name is "Anne Frank" (new cultivation) and it is a recent hybrid of the species "echinopsis" Yes, it is very beautiful and unusual, it has three colors yellow, orange and purple I won it at an auction some time ago
  12. Cute, that white flower is of "echinopsis" of the cacti family while the last two ("euphorbia") are succulent plants that can form many shrubs, native to Africa (not of the cactus family but of the "euphorbiaceae" so do not consider cacti ,...... even if they look a lot alike) In particular Morocco and Madagascar. Very branched and healthy the latter.... beautiful! Beware of the milky (toxic) juice they contain in case it breaks for some reason. To a florist in my area swelled his eyes after cutting it, for coming into contact with this milky liquid! So, beautiful plant but be careful!
  13. Hi Chad, yes, I have a fair amount of them as they multiply considerably (if I'm in good health) so much so that I had to take some to my father's house due to space problems
  14. Agree, not false guinea but it could certainly be a nice interesting marble, unless it is rubber? In this case everything would change!
