San Pedro at left. Buutcher's Big Boy (BBB) at right. Both
plants were cuttings
taken in 2008 for rooting. Here they are 1-year later. The one
at right looks like San Pedo but has a larger habit. I'm curious
to see what these become as they grow to maturity.
NO I DO NOT SELL THESE; too rare, don't have enough. Have to
keep what I have to propagate them. Maybe one day I will have a
good supply, but not yet. |

BBB has a fat, vigorous habit. I'd say it is the San Pedro
equivalent of my Peruvianus "fastest"
Nevertheless it is not a classic Sacred Cactus of Peru. It is a
hybrid made in the USA. A mutt, a stray dog.
NO I DO NOT SELL THESE |

Classic comparison of the San Pedro (my hand on it) and BBB.

Buutcher's Big Boy stands out in any crowd.

Tyler discovers the Juul's Giant (or is it a "fastest?") in Golden Gate
park. It is poking out of the bush above his head. What a good dog! |

Telephoto shot - this is out of reach poised on a cliff otherwise it
would have been pilfered by collectors. In fact, the San Pedro nearby
are sprouting from the remaining stump.
Juul's Giant?
Peruvianus "fastest"?
It looks like either one. But the spines are long on the sunny side just
like my "fastest" at home. I think this is a Peruvianus "fastest".
No, I did not search out the "official" tag posted by the Botanical
Garden. What do they know anyway? A thing just is what it is
regardless of what some human names it as.

Most important of anything is that Bobcat brought
home his first confirmed rodent kill when he was 10 months old.
He had caught a fat gopher and ate it with delight.
Four hours later he brought home this rat which by morning was
all eaten save the stinky gut sack.
NO I DO NOT SELL MY CATS.
You have to raise cat Angels yourself by the grace of the
Great Cat Angel spirit. |
