While specific rib counts and spine measurements are variable, it is recognized as part of the "Texas Street" complex of clones. It typically displays a glaucous blue-green epidermis. Morphology can vary significantly based on light exposure, with full-sun specimens appearing distinct from those grown in shaded conditions. ===== History & Origin ===== This clone originates from a well-known "old stand" located in the Old Town district of San Diego, California, specifically near Texas Street and San Diego Street. It is frequently discussed in relation to other regional clones such as "OTB" (Old Town Bridgesii) and "San Diego Street Bridge." While some collectors speculate on the synonymy between these names, they are often maintained as distinct labels within the community. ===== Cultivation Notes ===== General //T. bridgesii// care is recommended, including well-draining mineral soil and infrequent but deep watering. Community members note that environmental factors heavily influence the phenotype of this clone; specimens grown in full sun may not immediately resemble those grown in shaded environments, which can lead to identification challenges. ===== Community Discussion & Citations ===== //Analysis of the discussion suggests a strong geographical link between the "Grace" (Texas Street) clone and the Old Town area of San Diego. There is ongoing debate regarding whether "Texas Street" and "OTB" are the same genetic individual or merely neighbors from the same locality.// ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ | 2024 (approx) | Craig Wessman | 7 | "san diego street is in our old town... i've got an otb and a bunch of texas street bridgesii... they don't look that similar but my otb is in a shady spot and the others are in full sun" | ===== Credibility Notes ===== Craig Wessman was assigned a high confidence score due to his direct experience cultivating both the Texas Street (Grace) and OTB clones simultaneously, allowing for a side-by-side morphological comparison. His specific knowledge of San Diego geography (Old Town) adds localized authority to his observations. Crystal Dimension provided useful location context but was scored lower (5) due to reliance on hearsay regarding naming conventions.
