It does look rather odd, doesn´t it?- but the flower should be very delicate- never had one flowering up to now though...

Hi all,
This is a Copiapoa crest/monstrose, unfortunately it died a few years ago,as the grafting stock went during the winter.

This is a Notocactus scopa cristate. Judges usually advice me to take the normal heads out but I love the plant just like it is.

I can't really compete with some of the extraordinary plants here but thought I may as well anyway. So just for fun, Echeveria agavoides cristate
Also Echeveria secunda var secunda, that everyone seems to call Echeveria glauca.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
