The shop is closed just now. The shop is not open for orders yet. Everything here is real and grown in my own yard — have a look around — but I am not taking money until the last few things are in place. Ask about a plant

TPMB seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for TPMB. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.

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.

Growth habit
Fat and chunky.Checked and judged by our house botanist; no outside source states it. A thick, chunky column is a common and unremarkable habit in the genus.

What the sources say

The monstrose pachanoi line itself is documented. The A/B lettering convention is documented for monstrose , and this row assumes the same convention carries across — which is a reading, not something a source states.

TPMB growing in the yard
Our own plant, in the yard. 3 pictures of it on its collection page.

Filed under the same family, Pachanoi. The better-documented ones come first.

Cultivar histories in this hobby are passed between growers; where sources disagree we say so rather than pick a side.
