Nice to see the macro is starting to take form. Let's all hope it is what it's purported to be, because that is one large plant.

Squamosa is very interesting. Straight sand? Where di you folks get the pretty sand? Does that dew seed like the others? I would love to get my hands on some.

60:40 silica & peat with a thick top layer of straight silica. I got this sand from a friend of mine in Oregon. I guess it's sand blasting sand. This species is not self stratifying, no.

It's thinking about inflating three, but the two it did have have since expired.

That hamata's a little late to the party. How have you not had one of these until now ? Looks good. What clone ?

hey thanks.. added a couple more pics.

I've always had one, or two, or three. But I've also always found someone that wants them. And after my big 10"er died.. I just never kept one for myself.
Thought I'd give them another "real" effort in my own collection.
clone 1.. or 2. I forget which.

Looks great, man. I second what Johnny said about the hamata, but how did you kill your "10''er?"

This was back before my conditions became ideal.
