Thanks, Mike! They're from seeds that my 2012 kitchen plants grew up to produce.

Thanks!

No, not one that I grow.

Took a listen and no, it has some similarities but definitely a different tune.

@@jfreeman343 ah then I'm wrong x.x. Maybe it is a Disney original then. Thank you!

I don't, sorry. Check out P. purpusii online (purpureus is a misleading old trade name for some variety of P. pachycladus).

@@jfreeman343 great, thank you. I think it's the azureus that's a synonym for the pachycladus. Edit, thanks been looking for the one being called purpureus but seems to be only available as seed. I'll check that one you mentioned out :)

@@jfreeman343 o that's one thing that's problematic when you're looking for one but there's so many synonyms. And so many probably misleading ads recycling pictures when you look at them for sale online. Here is a list I found of synonyms for Pilosocereus pachycladus Common Name(s): Synonym(s): Pseudopilocereus pachycladus, Pseudopilocereus azureus, Pilosocereus atroflavispinus, Pseudopilocereus atroflavispinus, Pilosocereus azureus, Pilosocereus oreus, Pseudopilocereus oreus, Pilosocereus pemambucoensis, Pseudopilocereus pernambucoensis, Pilosocereus splendidus, Pseudopilocereus spendidus, Pilosocereus superbus, Pseudopilocereus superbus, Pilosocereus cyaneus, Pilosocereus cenepequei, Pilosocereus schoebelii. Wow :)

Thank you, Michael! The genus actually does really well here outdoors in the warm season. From March to late November I keep them outside. Even south of Fort Myers they did well in half-mineral mix beds for years, where even in winter I hit them with the hose once a month. I water them once a week in tents during summer. The P. albisummus were outside all summer even with a solid and scary month plus of rain days. My soil mix is on the website blog side bar menu, and I recommend using Eco-Complete black lava plus some fine pea gravel for ballast, drainage.

Visit my above website to see the left side bar menu for soil mix I use to grow these large.

@@jfreeman343 : Thanks a lot! We do appreciate your willigness to share your knowledge with the world! This makes this hobby - caring for Cactuses even more enjoyable! Cheers!

Sweet, from the tiny bit of pulp I tried while drying seeds.

@@jfreeman343 brix how much sir

@@aslamfruits4446 Sorry, I've never tested cactus fruit to determine brix. Tried that once while making wine.

Thanks, Sam! I grew these from seed, and I'm using 1 bag Miracle Gro Cactus/Palm/Citrus (moisture control) in $9.50 size, 1.5 bags Perlite and half bag of Cowabunga compost with manure, all of which you can find at Lowes in FL. I could see coquina added to these for stability and have been considering it for the next up-potting.

The soil mix and ideal light level are making it happen.

Thanks! It will be interesting to see how they grow over the next year.

Many are extremely blue and the shade or intensity depends on growing conditions. Too variable to really say.

Can only sell in Florida and can't ship them.

@@jfreeman343 How much are you charging for a mature Fragrans? how did you get seed? and where are you located? Possible to pickup.

@@SiCChicken They are $20, $30, $50 and $75 apiece. All are fruiting maturity. I got my first seeds from Mesa Garden's original owner's seed specimens some years ago, now both species are in full cultivation here with seed of their own. I am open by appointment and pickup by visit is good. Give me a call to set up a time to visit the farm. Thanks.

We are in the north of Williston, FL just southwest of Gainesville, and on the county line.

FWS was fine with my seeds and the source store where I bought, them so I can sell in Florida. I couldn't get interstate commerce permit though, so I can only sell in Florida.

I can only sell these in Florida and can't ship them.

Self-pollinates easily by itself with just a light breeze.

Two or more years.

Thanks, Louie!

Thanks! They did a great job putting this exhibition together. Working on the next two pieces.

Thanks, man. Prepping for winter all week. Hope it is warmer than the last one. Stop by tomorrow if you have a chance.

The Ziploc baggie method for four months in microwave sterilized soil has been excellent. For some reason, orders of these seeds have yielded very few St. Croix plants (old seed?), but I have three that made it from those small seed lots. Nothing like fresh harvested seeds from your own plants. The Royenii in the videos are now the size of cigarettes and twice as thick.

Thanks, Barrie! Sorry, I learned this by ear and never had sheet music, as I do most tunes.

Thanks, Tyler!

Thank you, Oskar!

Thank you!

Thank you, made my evening and gave us a good laugh here in Florida!

i used to live there in winters. bought a set of Walsh a2000 pipes about 5 years ago. Very nice. But found that I really couldnt play for more than 8 minutes without my arm near falling off. Ditched the bellows and now use air compressor in my garage feeding a fairchild low pressure regulator and then the pipes. Wonderful to be able to set pressure to make A E A all in tune and then have it stay that way for days at a time. I once visited Joe Shannon in Chicago and watched him playing a huge Taylor Uilleann set. He had a lot more muscle than I at about same age. But, still he had taken off the fourth regulator because he couldnt keep up with it. You have a long run ahead before you reach my point.

Love the compressor trick, might come in handy some day with my smallpipes. The popular electronic Red Pipes are pricey at a grand, last I checked, but offer different realistic sounds and modes like major/minor, Renaissance, sackpipa and other European chanters. Still, nothing like the sound of real reeds. March is "Hell Month" as you can imagine, and I'll be completely spent after St. Patrick's Day. A full Uilleann set looks like it takes a lot of wind.

Thanks. I deploy these two only occasionally anymore, but they work really well both outdoors and in churches.

Hi James, It's funny how church music coordinators are always warning couples that a solo piper's sound will be "deafening" inside the church. I believe that most church organs are played louder during ceremonies than we can play. You sound great playing inside of this church and I like the reverb very much. Sounds majestic.
