Hey Lewis,

That "Astrobergia" looks awesome. Are you sure that plant is the result of a Principis and Astro cross ? Looks like it could be a mutation much like the "Lotusland" ?

i don't know what astro species though, could even be A.ornatum?

The spines look very much Ornatum. How do you know its a cross ? Does it say it on the site ? I can't find it anywhere.

Shocked

Is this a confirmed inter-generic hybrid? Certainly looks the part.

Very interesting indeed!!! Thanks for posting.

Trig the bloke (Paul) who posted this is the real deal. One of the best hybriders in the world, I think he even has a few species named after him. As you said they certainly look the real deal.

yeah, i really believe the best cacti in the world are in Italy.
Astrophytum asterias has also been crossed with Thelocactus setispinus with interesting results. it has remarkably astrophytum-like flowers.
(in case someone doesn't know)

on the topic of inter-generic crosses, here is a Ferobergia x Echinocactus grusonii!!:

so leuchtenbergia x ferocactus, then resultant 'ferobergia' x E.grusonii. Incredible!
