...Or at least good friends...
The plants are both quite small in stature, but the flowers are big in beauty
viridiflorus v. cylindricus
viridiflorus ssp davisii. I love the spines on this one.
Enjoy, CP.

You've done well again, mate. I reckon I have to hunt down some examples of this species - in particular, the long-spined form. I never knew it was so variable.

Thanks Lachy, the ssp davisii came from Collectors Corner... one of only two places I know of that are accredited to send stuff to Tas.
