Nice plant! Looks like it is wearing a warm winter coat ready for the summer.

Re: The biggest Escobaria?
The biggest in my greenhouse too.
How do you keep it so white? Mine always develops grey/black colouration on the spines

Re: The biggest Escobaria?
It is coming up to 20 years old. There is some black discoloration around the areoles, but not enough to hide the white spines. Unless you look closely, it just emphasises how white the spines are. You can see it here from a couple of years ago.
