Cactus Cultivars

Hello,

Do you know this cultivar, and has it a special name? I think it's a retusus. Plants have not been grafted, they are on their own roots.

First, here is a global view from one side:

And from the other side (same plants):

Here is one plant closer:

And another one:

Tubercules are 5cm wide, still growing:

I think these plants have not shown yet their full potential, as tubercules are wider each year. They are now 5cm wide.
I produced some seeds this year (with flowers from last year), and I'd like to exchange against other cultivars, such as maruibo, cauliflower, cauliflower king, etc.

Hi Yann, Very nice plants! They look like A. furfuraceus cv. magnificus to me.

great plants, and good looking!

Hello Simon & Daniele,

Thanks for the comments.
The plants have been sown in 1999, and I did not pushed them to grow fast. I like them that way ;-)
However I grafted seedlings I got from them, on Pereskiopsis, a few days ago. We'll see what happens :)

Wonderful plants, gratulation!
