Hi Roberto From the picture, the plant looks a little tired and does not look like it has grown much lately. Melocactus azureus HU 256 M. concinnus HU214 and HU533 M. conoidens HU 183 M. levitestatus lots of HU col. numbers M. oreas lots of HU col. numbers M. zehntneri lots of HU col. numbers are a...

Richaud, I am enclosing a picture of the plant but I do not think it is very useful: they are all very similar when young and without a cephalium....

Keith.... the answer is : every time I do not receive the thing I have bought! Even if I am quite young, I have been buying C&S for about 31 years. Living on an island, I have bought many plants/seeds by post and spent many thousand Euros... I generally order seeds from 4-5 different sources eve...
