This guy's gonna get stupid big, but for now I'm loving him as a lil baby! I've had him for a couple years. Slow grower (thankfully)!
Truly #wickedspines
Looks like it might be a devil’s tongue. The central spine looks wider. 🌞
@emch this guy is DEFINITELY getting meaner the older he gets. 😬 @sunlovin I bought him unlabeled on Etsy, and my plant nerd friends and I all thought he was a ferocactus FOR SURE bc of the spine formation and patterning. I eventually asked the seller, and she was super cool and figured the ID out for me. I checked her ID, and it checks out! Apparently it's frequently mistaken for a ferocactus. https://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/ECHINOCACTUS/Echinocactus_platyacanthus/Echinocactus_platyacanthus/
