Re: Astro needing CV name
It's a super plant Tina, but I don't think it needs a cv name. The one you linked to is named for the "extra" ribs that form between the proper ribs, which yours doesn't have.

Re: Astro needing CV name
Sorry I Can't remember, I buy them for the pretty body, although now I have seen Diane's red flowered Astro I want one of those too.
I did lots of hybridising of Astro's last year but haven't bothered this year, astro kikko seedlings come up seriously chunky.

'Ooibo' seems to be used for asterias with extra-woolly areoles.
