Help needed for the ID of my variegated Ferocactus

11 years ago

I bought this variegated Ferocactus in a nursery in Spain last month without ID. After googling I believe it is a Ferocactus diguetii hybrid forma variegata, but I'm not quite sure. Perhaps has someone a better idea? Thanks.

Disclaimer: my IDs aren't worth the paper they are printed on. This being cyberspace, the value is even less.

I have never seen diguetii in nature, but don't they have yellow spines? I'm thinking the nice red spines of your plant look more like pilosus.

I agree with Dzitmo, looks more like Ferocactus stainesii var. pilosus, adding f. variegata. I think the lower spines' color will fade.

When I was a kid in RI we often would eat at a breakfast place in East Greenwich on the weekends. Some of the regulars there had green hair - apparently a local band. I don't recall that the band name was "The Rhipsalis", though.

Beth- At the HL, click on a letter of the alphabet, then scroll up and down to find the hosta you are looking for, then click on it. Tah Dah! You will see photos submitted by hundreds of people over the years. At the top of the page of the specific hosta you select, will be a link to more info collected from several sources at MyHostas.net. Database. There is also the American Hosta Society Registry, which is searchable, to find the official registration info on a hosta. -Babka

Thanks for the answers. That's true, the spines of diguetii are yellow. I got the name from this website, the spines of these diguetii are more pink to red.

I think I just take your suggestion.
