Wow, that really beautiful & a great size, how many heads does it have ?.
I have a couple of these I grew from seed but only a fraction of the size, I find this one easier to keep than Hoodia gordonii but maybe I pamper it more as it's home grown.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
