Some of my best, been a blast watching them take off this summer. The huge scop was 6" 10 months ago, going to be a monster by the end of the season. Loads of seed grown montrose plants, been doing a lot of propagating.
Last pic is my next gen of freaks, looks like I will have no shortage of melty bridgessi after this year. Running out of space!
My best cactus in my opinion, a Sharxx Blue x TPM. This had a bit of a lean, it seemed to trigger the 4 basal pups. I was already planning to propagate it come fall, now I'll have lots of material to work with.
Curious to see how the pups grow. Montrose growth can be so variable. Im also wondering if my grafts will do well without areoles...not many on this one.
Felt some pain when this guy split, ouch! A phallic Sharxx x Woolunda, I'm excited to see how this turns out. Has some nice farina already.
First group of 10 are all Sharxx Blue crosses. Smaller sized (~5-8") ones are 30$, larger (~10-12") are 50$. Buy the whole pack for 330$ and I will make sure one of the TPM crosses is showing montrose growth.
Second group are TPM/TBM crosses. 40$ for smaller ones, 60$ for large ones. Buy the whole pack for 240$.
Last pics are a particularly large SASS x TPM. Seed grown, it's really pumping. About 12" and thick. 75$.
Shipping is 35$ if I need to use a large box. Freebies included to cover the cost of shipping.
I've got way too many crests and they are getting big! These are all quite fat and heavy, been well fed. TPM x Anok, Scop x Flying Saucer, TPM x Sharxx and CC Shortspine x Gator. 75$ for 1 or 2 for 100$. Shipping is 30$, freebies added to cover the cost.
Got a couple of my favourites here. "Hydra" is a Scop x Flying Saucer seedling that seems to have a propensity for multiple heads. I'll have a better idea once they spend some time growing on their own roots. The mother is quite an impressive plant, over 10 separate shoots on it. If I'm really lucky it will have pink flowers like Flying Saucer.
"ZFM" is a Zeds scop x TPM seedling. The mother plant is interesting with 3 different forms of growth on each stem. This was the only mutant seedling in the lot so far, though one of my others is starting to drop a rib. These grafts are a fair bit younger than the Hydra's, mostly cresting so far. Hoping to get more long melty growth like the middle stem on the mother.
Getting crowded! Just about time to do the big rinse and split everything up. I try to keep them in the trays until they reach the top, a bit of crowding seems to help early on. Great breeding from u/TheWilfy , I'm most excited for the (Sharxx x TPM) crosses. Last year it was my best pack, really curious to see what comes out of it being crossed.
These guys are 4.5 months old, nice and chunky.
A triple graft for the RMF grow contest, a month of growth from the early picture.
Hard to believe but all 6 of these Sharxx x TPM came from one seed germinated January 2025 (and there is a missing cut I sold too). I grafted the largest seedling early and then grafted a couple more from pups.
I'm calling this one prize winner, it is my fastest cactus. The cuts rooted quickly this spring and have put on a couple inches already. Planning to do some mass propagating this fall, should be a great root stock.
Feels like everything put on an inch overnight after some osmocote. Had a hot spring here in the PNW, these are flying right now. That first KeseyxZed is going to be a monster by fall.
I'll never understand the science behind Montrose growth. This Sharxx x TPM dichot has gone in two different directions. The one stem has normal growth while the other is cresting away. The crest also has spines all down one side yet is smooth on the other side. Fun one to watch. !
Over 50 varieties of Tricho seedlings for sale. Average size is 1"x1", many are much larger. I have a lot from Wilfy, I picked out the best from his list. Many montrose crosses, he has a lot of pictures on his account.
I've got most of Rastapolix stock available, as well as some nice scop genetics from Kohl Iverson. I also grew out some of the best varieties I had from Pacific Cactus last year. This includes a couple TBM crosses.
These are adapted to full light and high nutrients, they are ready to take off this summer. Shipping is 25$, I add freebies to cover the cost. Discounts for purchases of 25x and 50x.

Started these 3 months ago, they are around 1.5"x1". I've got about 50 varieties going, these are definitely in the lead. Always seems to be a Sharxx cross, SASS crosses are a close second for speed ime. Fingers crossed for blue scops.
