| 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" ? |

| 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. |

|  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, it seems some of 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.
on the topic of inter-generic crosses, here is a Ferobergia x Echinocactus grusonii!!:
http://thegardenforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=17564
so leuchtenbergia x ferocactus, then resultant 'ferobergia' x E.grusonii. Incredible!
