#trichocereus bridgesii monstrosa

[theprinceofmycologia]

This is my Trichocereus bridgesii monstrosa . . .

I named it Gnoom ( Dutch for Gnome, a variant of Gnoom in Dutch is Kabouter and in older Dutch Kaboyter ) , I got to Gnoom because the 'thorns' of the cactus reminded my of nails, nail in Dutch is 'spijker' which in certain dialects / accents is pronounced as 'spieker' , which reminded me of a gnome from a childhood fairytale I cannot quite remember . . . so yea, basically that :)

I bought this Cereus Forbesii Spiralis today !

I named it Polyphemus, like the one-eyed cyclops from Greek Mythology. I did that, because I put it on the pot I painted with pine chafers a.k.a. Polyphylla fullo on it, and I thought *poly* . . . Polyphemus and I thought it was a really nice name so yea . . .

Long story short, I named it Polyphemus ♡

I love it to so much ! ! !
