I’ve been meaning to start a thread like this to share some of my favorite pieces for a long time now. I’ve been collecting SPS for 15 years, so it’s long overdue.
I’ll keep adding pics regularly as time permits and things grow out. My obsession, or collection, has become pretty extensive, so it’ll be a bit of a journey to get them all photo documented.
I’m going to kick this off with my favorite grafted pieces. Some of these were purchased as grafted pieces, while others developed grafting in my system for whatever reason. It seems like the more grafted pieces I add, the more likely others are to develop grafting.
RR Euphoria – this thing is insane, I’ve got to get a pic of my bigger mini colony, it has even better colors. This piece is one that developed grafting while growing out from a frag in my system:
RRC Rainbow Splice – Of course this one was purchased with grafting already. I paid top dollar for a frag with all the colors and a good ratio of grafting, which is critical to growing out a colony with all the colors:
CRT Freakshow – I’ll have to check with Hung to see if any of his pieces have grafting, I believe this is another that developed grafting in my system:
GWS Grafted Acro – Here’s a perfect example of why it’s important to start a grafted colony with a frag that has a good mix of grafted and non-grafted tissue… it sets the stage for the entire colony:
CC Fuzzy Rainbow – Another piece with colors that are hard to believe. This one has taken forever to finally start throwing branches. The frags typically lose a lot of color when cut, similar to Vivid’s rainbow that will often require new growth to get full coloration:
