I'd say a bit expensive taking into account postage. It's only an echinopsis. Now if it were a rarer type of plant, then that would be good. Even so I can see this one going for $40 - $50+ just crazy

and you never saw this one, which i would easily pay way more than that for, this is an absolutely perfect specimen, the degree of variegation is amazing. Very Happy

that smaller one is a tad on the expensive side.

magnificent, i would pay that, considering i paid $40 for a normal M. disciformis a bit bigger with a cephalium.

Stealing my plants hahaha Betty Smile

Michael,
PM me whenever you want to sell me a pup - (seriously) but not at the price hornet is bidding. Always wanted a variegated and its my birthday tomorrow, but still can't be tempted to outbid hornet at $27 plus postage. I think $15 would have been a decent price.

I was going to bid on that too.... Laughing

I respectfully bow out - I have a plan to get some fancy cacti this weekend - I will post picks if anything comes of it Wink
