Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Hi gang, here's what I need to get rid of this year! Anyone interested? Most of these photos were taken yesterday so the number of offsets visible is probably all I have.
'Mad Cow', Greg Starr's version of A. colorata x bovicornuta Agave "titanota" from Greg, grown from lazily documented seed so may not be real titanota...if you care about that kind of stuff. 'Sharkskin' decent size pups. The big plant is blooming and I want this deathtrap of a plant out of my yard. Agave salmiana 'Beast' from San Diego Botanical Garden Agave salmiana 'Logan Calhoun' x lophantha. This is a photo from last year, I have 3 or 4 offsets. Agave utahensis v. eborispina is very slow. I think the pups crowd the nice main plant so have decided to rip it apart this year. Spines are longer than the leaves. Agave 'Little Shark' is larger, bluer, and faster then the sorta similar 'Royal Spine'. Agave x arizonica - pups are small and slow but easy. Very sun-hardened Aloe variegata in back is also available. Agave xylonacantha, from Martin (arizona agave); I think this came from Greg originally? Agave chrysantha, nice offsetting form. Agave 'Cubic' isn't supposed to offset but won't stop. Mangave 'Macho Mocha' Agave pachycentra 'Flying Saucer' is bizarre. Aloe hemmingii was thrown into the yard as a death sentence and has thrived instead. Blooms dinky flowers all year and is rather pretty. Aloe cremnophila is going to get untangled and put in a hanging basket, so I'll have a few to share

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Old photo of Matt Maggio's A. parviflora x M. maculosa. I have lots of these.
Aloe jucunda, also sun-hardened
Orbea baldratii is a survivor, forgot it was still alive til my wife noticed it blooming.
Stapelia leendertziae is thriving...
Albuca batteniana is a large bulb with 3' rubbery leaves and huge (for an albuca) green-white flowers
Albuca circinana (?) is prolific and easy, and has interesting curly leaves in sun and yellow flowers in late winter
Scilla peruviana is smaller, 1' or so strap leaves and dramatic purple flowers in spring
Ferraria crispa has grassy foliage and weird vanilla-ish flowers
Ipheion 'Rolf Fiedler' has short grassy foliage and cute purple flowers.
'June Noon' not a prolific flowerer for me
'Flying Saucer' is the best cactus flower ever
'First Light'
'Epic'

Sign me up for 'Cubic', both Orbea and Stapela leendertziae. Check my thread if anything grabs your attention. I have at least 50 containers full of seed here too.
Agave

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Done. I'll take a look at your thread. I'm still not really growing stuff from seed...out of town too much for that to work well.

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Here's a new photo of the salmiana x lophantha. I pulled 2 pups this evening but there are more. Just a heads up - the pups I ship from this plant almost certainly will be rootless. They seem to remain totally reliant on the mother plant for much longer than most plants. I pulled one with 9" leaves today and it has no roots whatsoever, just a big fat rhizome. So, if you get a rootless plant from me, that's why...I'm not just ripping you off! They are vigorous and will root easily.

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Since this was not really pertinent to the Huntington Sale thread, I figured I'd answer the Schick hybrid conversation we started here:
I just did a check and the number of viable offsets on the Huntington Schick plants I have (about 20-25 or so) is remarkably low.
The following Schicks I have, have viable offsets:
Sierra Skyline
Sasquatch
Maria Piazza
Oberon
Edwardian Lady
But I have bunches of offsets on other hybrids:
Some well rooted plants of a couple of Paramount hybrids:
Los Angeles (growing this in the ground and it is doing quite well - I have a big plant in a pot that is definitely flowering, and some smaller plants that should be close)
Fluffy Ruffles (lost one of the two parent plants I had, but had a bunch of offsets already growing in pots and the other plant has plenty of offsets going)
Another rooted offset
Trichocereus 'Roxanna' (Got it from the DBG, origin beyond that unknown - I lost a huge chunk off the main plant a few years back and while it has new growth, it has not flowered since, but this is a pretty amazing one)
Then I have a bunch of hybrids from other sources with offsets:
Bright Eye
Gates Yellow
Kaleidoscope
Killian (Gary Buie)
Apricot Glow (Trichocereus - Dimmitt - it would likely be a cutting rather than an offset)
Arizona Sunset (Trichocereus - cutting)
Volcanic Sunset (Trichocereus - cutting)
Raspberry (Trichocereus - cutting)
Prometheus (Trichocereus - cutting)
Queen Mary (according to pictures, but I would have to go look for the plant - may have lost its label)
Red Meteor
and a bunch more, but I am so far behind in cataloging things that I'd have to go check the labels in the pots, or go digging through my pile of pictures.
I'd happily swap some, if you are interested in any, for the June Noon, Flying Saucer, and/or Epic (I have first light, which is only just starting to grow more arms), and/or mangave pups and/or a 'maybe' titanota pup (to add to my other 'maybe' titanotas) and/or a salmiana x lophantha pup. Unfortunately I cannot help you with much on your want list, I have an A. sebastiana, but afaik it has no offsets (I guess I should check the pot as I have not looked at it in any detail since last Fall).

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Am interested in an A. utahensis eborispina and Puya alpestris. Can offer the ersatz hookeri again; perhaps a larger one. Also you might like to try the old timey version of univittata. This one has a spread of almost 4 feet and none of the "lophantha" look about it. I know it's perflora non glora (if I may coin a phrase) but perhaps it hasn't been used much in your area. I still have lots of Orostachys japonica I can throw in the box. My agave maximilliana has filled the pot with pups and can send them if you please. It was TC from Shady Oaks? and not sure the species is supposed to pup.

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
As of now I am out of:
- 'Beast'
- 'Mad Cow'
- utahensis eborispina
- "titanota"
- Agave 'Flying Saucer'
- Echinopsis 'Epic'
- Echinopsis 'June Noon'
- Echinopsis 'Flying Saucer'
If I already sent you a PM about one of these plants you are good.

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Well I originally started this thread to get rid of some excess stuff...thin the herd so to speak, and perhaps pick up a few cool new things. I think I miscalculated somewhere along the way...45 new plants (not counting duplicates) and I'm not sure I didn't forget some in the picture as well. I am out of pots and out of dirt (for the second time).

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
I like it. Find a home for one, and acquire two more in it's stead.
I've been going through the same thing. I actually made an effort to place a few plants, and did, but wound up adding twice as many more.

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Lol, I have not even gotten around to posting my trade/sell/donate/garbage list... Happy to have contributed to the haul! I will also be going shopping for soil got everything I received from you in pots and squared away for the summer though, now it is back to the long list of plants that need to be up-potted because I did not finish my back yard cactus bed yet...
I did get another batch of Echinopsis hybrids from Gary Buie, some the Echinopsis/Trichocereus collection has expanded by about 15 plants... Here a couple of flower shots from plants that had flowers this morning: Both these have plenty of offsets.... nudge nudge wink wink....

Re: Spring 2017 trade/sell/donation/garbage list
Thanks! Viegener is indeed correct: it is Killian iso Kilian, I misspelled it.
I will see how many offsets of decent size there are when I have some time, but work and being late on the second anti-weevil treatment of the year will keep me occupied for the near future.
Cheers!
