Added a booby cactus to my collection!
Bought it on eBay from a seller in Italy. Cost me about £11, plus £13 for shipping, so all-in-all it wasn't too bad. It took a while to arrive, especially as I ordered it in late December; I got a bit worried when it didn't arrive after a few weeks, but it got here eventually!
When I unpacked it, the stem was pretty cold, but after watching it for a few weeks, I haven't noticed any signs of cold damage, so maybe it was already dormant before it was shipped. Oh well. I'm just stoked to have my very own fukurokuryuzinboku. I'm trying my hand at growing some regular myrtillocactus geometrizans, so maybe he'll have some company in a few months. If I don't kill them first, that is.
Far be it from me to deny you pictures:
