Alphabet: Letter O

13 years ago

I don't want to obsess, but I love the Alphabet game. I won't let it slip into oblivion. I want to leave it open for others to have the opportunity to offer up their outstanding O's, so I feel obliged to omit everything outside of orboids.
Without further obstruction... O.

Odontophorus angustifolius

    Oh my...the O's has some interesting plants - love them all Ryan, those Opuntia may not have teeth, but you need to be very awake when you walk around them! Ouch!

    Hi LT, It's a round about story since I'm new on this forum but not GW. I'm mostly on the Texas forum and posted here to get an ID on a new cactus. Then the alphabet series looked like fun and I saw Mara (wontonamara) is here too. (Hi Mara)

    lzrddr,

    your so-called Oroya peruviana is definitely not that species nor does it belong to that genus!

  • 13 years ago

    Ortegocactus macdougallii

  • 13 years ago

    X Pacherocactus orcuttii

  • 13 years ago

    Ferocactus viridescens ssp. orcuttii in habitat

  • 13 years ago

    no surprise... seems most of the cactus I get from local cactus and succulent sales are incorrectly identified... but I am not enough of a cactophile to know the difference... any suggestions what my 'Oroya' is (maybe I will luck out and it will still have the letter 'o' in it somewhere)?

  • 13 years ago

    Nice one, GermanStar! =) Looks like it split to be twins!

    Good pokeys, Jurgen! You reminded me I have Ortegocactus. Must look for bloom pix to put up later.

    Geoff, perhaps your (tagged) Oroya is Parodia haselbergii. (it DOES have one O...in the middle~LOL)

  • 13 years ago

    Mystery opuntia, any guesses

  • 13 years ago

    And another mystery, this ones nasty

  • 13 years ago

    Some more O...

    not as pristine as Jordi's

    It's been great seeing everyone's Opuntias since I don't have but 1. Very nice, everybody.

    Beautiful shots Ro! How could I forget Oscularia deltoides?! Oh well, I forgot these too. hahaha...
