Echinocactus grusoni var.albispinus

New acquisition! I'm not even safe from plants at the grocery store. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ I was disciplined and walked away at first, but then I got home and looked it up, and I was right back at the store 20 mins later clutching it in the checkout line. 😂

Good choice 👍

I sense a tad bit 🌵addiction there🤪🤣🤣🤪

Awesome find! I can just imagine how beautiful the yellow flowers are going to be amongst those pure white spines!💚🌞

Thanks @philstalder ! 😁 @crabby58 yeah, I can't resist a cool cactus. 😜

@sunlovin right?? 😍 The flowers don't stand out at all among the yellow needled ones! I'm looking forward to getting some seeds off this guy. You've got some of these (in yellow), right? I just read that it takes 20 yrs for them to start blooming, but I'm quite sure my little <5 yr old baseball sized ones have been blooming for at least a couple years already. 🤨

Wow! Beautiful boi with #wickedspines

It is beautiful

Thanks @emch and @crabby58 !! Not really looking forward to repotting this big guy.. 🤣

Two words: ROSE GLOVES! Two more: #wickedspines

@emch I'll see your rose gloves, and I'll raise you... CARPET SCRAPS. 🤣🤣🤣

Also may need tweezers and extra bandaids 🥰🤪🤣 @emch @beatnikcrab
