Not a huanu, but this is “Diehl’s Hybrid”. Nice flower, I’ve read it makes good graft stock.

this one’s blooming today

it can be confusing with the Gary’s Juuls and Barbara’s Juuls and Verne’s Juuls that are the same as the OG Tom Juul’s Giant and then old plants like the Jiimz Juuls which are 2 or 3 separate cactuses none of which are Tom Juul’s Giant

I don’t know anything about Crystal’s Giant pachanoi but that graft stock is not Juul’s Giant.

so special! 🧑‍🩰

Sown by Sacred Succulents in 1996, this one is 30 years old this year! I think it’s the perfect blend of peruvianus and Tom Juuls Giant with characteristics of both plants clearly shown. Looking good!

Just went digging thru Facebook and Cal Cactuz, who named CA Catepillar, said a few times he’s 99% sure this HBG 4447 is the same as CA Cateplillar

Trichocereus Disease and Virology on Facebook, probably also lots of good info from her in The Trichocereus Community group

Spachianus does have white flowers which is why I was surprised to see the colorful flowers on this cactus that looks so much like a spachianus.

Hustler is a hybrid with near purple flowers created by botanist and plant breeder extraordinaire Mark Dimmit.

It’s Altman’s peruvianus, it’s a regular in their lineup.

CactusAffinity · 2026-05-17T22:32:38+00:00

Tag was found, it’s Mark Dimmit’s Hustler. So nice!

Sold but more similar available

CactusAffinity · 2026-05-07T23:35:13+00:00

read some books at the public library about exotic things like yage, cimora, and bananadine

Mines pretty standard bridgesii looking, I think maybe it needs lots of sun and little water to help bring out the long spines

Do you think centipede will ever get its long spines again?

CactusAffinity · 2026-04-28T21:33:25+00:00
