Rick

Partially documented

Rick is a label for a seed-grown group of rather than a single — the grower who named it says the label exists to keep the plants' history traceable. That distinction matters to a buyer: two plants sold as Rick are siblings, not of one mother, and can look different. Nothing has been recorded about count, spine length or colour, and the material is now spread across Europe and North America.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

PeruvianusInformal label: Shorthand or a describing label rather than a cultivar name. It does not promise one specific plant.

Of the 11 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 10 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a confirmed cross for Rick, and no other entry here names it as a parent. What the record does hold is below.

That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.

If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

Not a single clone but a seed-grown line, so plants sold under the name are siblings rather than cuttings of one plant. No parents are named.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

The longer version

Species, as our sources record it: peruvianus, given with the synonym peruviana.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

The plants were raised from seed obtained from another grower, and the wiki page is explicit that this is a seed-grown line rather than one clone.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Material has spread internationally, with plants documented in France, Canada, elsewhere in Europe and the United States.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

One recorded distribution path runs through a grower called Jeremy in Colorado.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Where the name comes from

The name was chosen by the community member known as Planet Rick, who says it is used simply to keep track of the plants' history.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Growth habit

What the sources say

The wiki page carries a banner saying it was assembled by a bot from community chat and has not been checked by an editor. Calling a seed-grown group by one name cuts against the wiki's own definition of a clone as one plant and every piece cut from it, and the wiki page does not resolve that tension.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
