Ferocactus glaucescens with it's white fruit, note how clean the aeroles are, this was par for course on the planted out Feros as ants were feeding on them and keeping them nice and clean:

I wonder how long my Aloe plicatilis will take to reach that size, it looks stunning. I only wish that I lived a little closer and had a little more disposable income, not of course that that would solve my lack of space.

Thanks all!

I photographed the Gymno especially for you Maria - knew you'd like it.

The johnstonianus is one to look out for Stephen - great spines, I've seen seed somewhere.
