|  What do you mean "it's nothing special really"?! That's a really great display from what looks like quite a small plant. |

exactly my thoughts, it's wiztastic
this is great, and I hope my selinicereus grafted asterias seedling will be as big and have as many flowers as yours in 6 months, but I doubt it.
How long has it been grafted? It's a seed grown plant no? |

| Thanks guys well I guess it is special enough to post a pic on here.  I can't really remember when I grafted it - Its probably only a few months old though. It was grafted as a seedling from a bunch of mixed Astrophytum hybrid seeds. |

| All cacti are special, especially anything that is ours  They're really lovely, thanks for sharing! So much bigger than I thought they would be. I only have one astro for now and he gives me a lovely yellow flower, but tiny! |
