Tephrocactus

Post by Ross M »

Another plant that I obtained over 10 years ago as a segment, now in a 6" pan. I love the spines and it never breaks up but it hasn't flowered yet. I received it as 'Tephrocactus species, Roger Ferryman seed'

That's a rather nice form of Maihueniopsis glomerata.

It's always been attractive but seems to have become more so in recent years

Yes, Ross, that is a superb clone.
Please 'save me a segment' for later in the year.
