| Haha Lotus land, had my eye on that, sadly it's way out of league now. I remember awhile back there was one for sale on Ebay, and it reached $30 or something and i thought that it was too expensive, how many times i kick myself for not buying it is unbelieveable. I went to bid on an A.Ornatum last night, got into 10secs so i put a bid on, but page did'nt load fast enough and it was over, no-one bid on it  So i asked the seller to re-list it, now it seems someone is bidding on it...

really awesome... bit out of my league though, not that it isn't worth that... far from it... another larger specimen of the same gymno crest sold for over $150. |

| Astrophytum Myriostigma Monstrosus cv Lotusland went for $93
Gymo crest went for $99
Unreal what some cactophiles will pay when they really want that unusual cactus, lol. No different from other collectors I suppose except that these have the possibility of dying. |

| yeah.. gymno crests are just awesome. maybe im just biased since im a big fan of both gymnos and crests lol. i got a Gymno baldianum crest yesterday. i'd love some more. the pic in my (new) avatar is a crested flower of a Gymno ragonesei crest, which i knidly borrowed from cactus-art (free advertising  ). http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/GYMNOCALYCIUM/Gymnocalycium_ragonesii/Gymnocalycium_ragonesii_cristata/Gymnocalycium_ragonesi_cristata.htm |
