| Planted out a number of Astrophytum Asterias Nudum - doing very well too, but one in amongst them looked a bit odd, an continued to grow odd like.
So the question is: is it a weed, or a sport / oddly deformed nudum???
Heres the Pic:
sport?

| I'd say it aint an Astro, looks interesting though I would transplant it and see what it does.

| Yeah,
just looking at it, the seed is a dark black, not like the astro's - probably a triffid and will eat my whole collection he he
Good idea to repot it - and move it away from everything else!!!!

| Wouldn't it be cool if it was a Triffid?
