September 2015, 'Perfect spines and spikes'
So, here is September's title. I look forward to some picturesque sharp and spiky plants.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

If it is spines, then it has to be 'small Opuntias'
Tephrocactus aoracanthus
Maihueniopsis hickenii P102
Maihueniopsis glomerata

Not sure about "perfect" but there are plenty of spines on this mammillaria (for flowers see May's thread)
Also not sure if the pointed bits on this delosperma count as spines but perhaps they are spikes

I think this is a Weingartia. NOT my plant I hasten to add. Always catches the eye at our branch show.

I have so many nicely spined plants that I'd love to post, but here's a small selection.

Re: September 2015, 'Perfect spines and spikes'
I like G. spegazzinii too. This is var punillense.
And spiny urchins
And Echinocactus polycephalus
Cheshire, UK
Re: September 2015, 'Perfect spines and spikes'
I too like Gymno. spegazzinii
From Dan and yours just adds to it. Like a little thorn shower. Thanks
It's time to put some serious effort and get some seeds growing.
