They're various types of Astrophytum Japanese cultivars which I'm pumped to have in the collection for the purpose of creating seed and hopefully my own cactus hybrids/cultivars in the future.

Hello Pete and Peach! Love the channel!
Special! All of them seem to have flower buds. Hoping they develop. Let us know and of course show the flowers!
Yeah it's the end of Summer here so they're still going but will probably stop soon :P Trying to take photos when I see them
I'm not a cat person, but I love that Peaches has become a regular 😂❤
hehe yay! My job is done then :D
congrats on 5K subscribers! 🎉
Oh thanks so much Ailee! :D
You should ask the buyer if you can do a tour of their collection. Love cactus lately too.
Yeah, might have to at some point. Though, it's interesting. The cacti community here seems to be much more private than the aroid one in terms of showing their collections.
I love the cactus and succulent videos. Love a long chatty video 🥰
Hehe yay!
🎶 What's in the box? What's in the box?🎶
Love an unboxing🎉.
ps: My Thai Cons is getting her first leaf, (in my care). I'm excited to see it unfurl.
Thank you for raising such brilliant, healthy & strong stock.
Hehe my pleasure, mate! Glad it's kicking goals!
Hi Pete, those astrophytums are phenomenon! thanks for sharing. Can you do a repot video with your cacti as well , please, if possible.
Hey mate, will try to do one in the future.
Love the fact you reused your packaging from other orders!
Wonderful! Cacti! Keep them coming!!
Hehe yeah don't tell anyone :D
The mummy thing…lmao!
The Kabuto looks like a kaleidoscope from above.
I know! They're trippy as.
Pete-ches!! Everything is making sense now!!
Hahaha we didn't name her either
Definitely a whisky fan. Bruichladdich is a firm fave. We've also been to the Glen Scotia distillery in Campbelltown, their stuff is lovely
My kind of woman! Haha Have you had any of the Octomores?
I share your astro passion, I have 1500 seedlings on the go with no room to pot them up when they get older lol :)
Where I’m from in west central Georgia USA we call new whiskey moonshine which is illegal 😂
Haha
I absolutely love the look of the one you just took out of the box. It's beautiful
Hehe which time stamp?
My brother and a few of his mates had a little whisky club years ago. They went all in. Suited and booted, had prepared talks about the whisky of the evening and kept a log of the tastings etc. Obviously, it all ended in a sloppy mess, but great fun! 😄 He loves a good smokey whisky. Laghavulin, Laphroaig, Ardbeg, preferably islay, but always scotch. I’m not a huge whisky lover, but I can nip at a really smokey one once in a while, just barely coating the tongue type sipping
Oh man, those are the best nights! The taste testing a bunch of different types and comparing opinions hehe Scotch is the bomb
🐸🧦
Beautiful specimens!
Thanks for the video, Pete😊
🌵🍻
Cheers, mate :D
Keep spraying with preventative treatments those Astros. I’ve lost so many due to mealies as you can’t even tell they have them.
They’re amazing
Beautiful cacti 🌵!!! 🙋🏼♀️💚🐩🌵
Hehe thanks mate :D
whiskey is my drink of choice .. I also just got a astrophytum super kabuto today in the mail ..congrats
Boom! Good work, mate :D They're one of my favourite cacti for sure
LOL love it. There would definitely be some 'private stock' out there we plant nuts would quite literally trade vital anatomy for. 🤣
100%
Hi Pete! I'm an aroid person mainly but I love watching your cactus videos. I spotted a grafted cactus in the local DIY store where the top piece had fallen off the bottom piece (root stock?! Am i learning?!) Before watching your videos i didn't even know grafting was a thing for cacti :') I figured unless I tried to save it it would end up dying and getting binned, so I haggled for 50% off, watched some videos on grafting cacti and successfully regrafted it! Thought you might enjoy knowing you got an aroid person to do a cactus rescue 😂
Oh wow, that's incredible mate! Well done. Grafting can be hard. I'm still yet to get the hang of it.
Gorgeous,love,love 💘
:D
Nice cacti Pete!
Hehe cheers, Carol! You got any?
2 regular & a dog tail. 😄
I really love astrophytum species, these specimens are very good, I wonder what kind of climate it is in your country and how do you prepare your soil?
Don’t think you are allowed to use mummy now a-days. They might identify as daddy’s .
Those cacti were pretty damn cool. The texture was just amazing.
You didn’t finish the story…you put them in the cart, what was your friend’s answer? Deal or fomo win?
I love whiskey and tequila. Not a fan of scotch unfortunately. You might be the only peat I like. 😂
When I went to the Caymans a couple weeks ago, we went to the 7 Fathoms distillery. Very cool concept how they age. Brought back some nice stuff. I’ll shoot you a pic of my bar on the gram later.
Congrats on the sales! Keep it grinding!
5k coming around the corner!
hahaha the only Peat I like... damn! No smoke for you! Yeah definitely send me a pic and thanks for the support again, Richard :D
Lol I don't think he replied so I just bought them
The identify as daddies now 😂🤣☠️ I'm dead 😆
I used to pretty much take on whatever as long as it was in a shot glass, lol. I'm partial to tequila, though 🤪 Bring on all the plants... I'm here for them all 🌱🪴🌵
Haha :D my kind of pal!
I got some variegated Echevaria they are Stunnigggg🎉❤
Oh very nice! Which kind?
i love love love ur plants and videos
Hehe thanks Kyliee :D
Like those cacti. I noticed that you have got a few with buds, will you show us them when the flowers open please? I tried whiskey and did not like it, I do like a good vintage port though. Got them aging in my cellar (buy young, age for 10 years and drink)
Will do :D It's the end of Summer now so they're probably stopping as we speak, but I'll keep taking photos hehe
On the topic of whiskey and alcoholic beverages, some of my friends own Echuca Distillery and they've just come out with their first whiskey (definitely takes longer than gin, which is also what they started with). Theirs is finished in PX Sherry Casks. They also do a smoked agave that they just won gold for at the San Francisco World Spirits competition for (agave is tequila but under a different name as it doesn't come from mexico) that it sounds like you might like 😊
My partner also has a cracker of a whiskey collection (he used to be a manager at Dan Murphy's)
Can’t believe peaches sleeps through the packaging material, seems it would be right up a cat’s alley! How do you get seeds from a cactus?
Hey mate, haha yeah she seems to sleep through anything that doesn't involve food. They flower profusely in Spring and Summer, so you can just pollinate them (sometimes self pollinate) and you get loads of seed.
I started exploring whiskey during the pandemic and have come to realize I do not like the peat tasting. I gravitate to the Irish or American whiskey that has a cleaner finish. I totally agree that the sellers are holding out the really good plants on us….lol. Though you have to agree we would do the same.😅
Haha yeah me too. That's when I went deep. I like them all based on different things hehe American stuff's definitely smooth!
Ardmore Port Cask is nice.
Good one! I Need to try this :D
I like my cacti like I like my whiskey, well aged lol
Hehe good work :D
What the difference between a freshly made whiskey and... A vodka?
What it's made from. Whisky's made from fermented grains whereas I think vodka is any agricultural product that's turned into ethanol.
@@petevsplants7516 technically vodka is made of weat or barley. Potato or other sources of suggar are seldom used and is usually called somogon.
I AM THINKING THE SAME WAY IF THEY SELLING YOU THIS WHAT ELSE THEY GOT!
:P
