For complex hybrids, or those where L anceps is crossed with a standard Catt hybrid it may make a difference. The pod parent may well contribute attributes from the mitochondrial DNA (which comes only from the female side) that could give it more influence. But also, L anceps seems to be rather dominant in general - certainly if it is half of the cross or nearly so. Along with the form (which is quite distinctive) its robustness seems to be inherited readily. For something like Santa Barbara Sunset, where it is 3/4 L anceps no matter how the cross is made, the result ends up being, for all practical purposes, pretty much L anceps with some extra colors and more flowers. And equally bullet-proof.

I just bought an anceps in a basket in spike. The newer leaves are closer to yellow than green. The older leaves are yellow.

My L anceps are mostly sort of lime green, and have a somewhat glaucous appearance - that whitish coating is nature's sunscreen. L anceps in spike now? Timing a bit odd, I don't usually see spikes until late July or early August on the earliest ones. But depending on where it was grown, "your mileage may differ".

I'm still surprised at how early it is. Any idea which variety? |

It's SVO 2374 L. anceps ('Las Brisas' x 'Ultimo')
I can't get to SVO right now to look up what Fred said about it. That was quite a while ago.

Well, I'm sure it's great because that is what he does. It may be with the extra warmth inland that things are spiking sooner. Enjoy and post pix when it blooms!

I'll try. I left it at my mom's house until Fall. Didn't want to bring something in spike to this weather.

I'm so spoiled by being at the coast... it must be pretty brutal at your place.

I can grow barrel cactus (Ferocactus) and Fouquieria (ocotillo and relatives) better than anybody else!
