More pink than mine.
Mine is ..... beige at best
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

If I'm not mistaken, Ed Storms who was a Texan, developed and named it. Am I correct?

Mine is scheduled for a new home. It's joining the rest of the collection on the other side of the river when she remembers to take it with her.

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!
