a father to many pointy things

lil babies

some lovely opuntias growing in the canyon where i grew up.

Stetsonia coryne aka "Toothpick Cactus", Argentina looks like a balloon. also looks like a snowflake, from above. how silly. how handsome.

well then...

Tephrocactus papyracanthus aka "Paper Spines", Argentina looks like something Tim Burton drew.

@boobooplant Rhipsalis mesembryanthemoides one year later, all grown up :>

some blooming prickly pears from Casper's wilderness park today

E. subdenudata

E. subdenudata blooming, 11p-5a dunno what the hell the pot is doing, turning by itself in the middle of the night :I

Echinopsis subdenuta aka "Easter Lily", Bolivia having some blooms this week! the first withered after a day but there's another coming and i'm hoping to get a better time lapse of it blooming this time... at 2am.

Euphorbia mammillaris and Austrocylindropuntia subulata f. cristata doing some wacky shit.

Some mammillarias, i think the crested one might be Red Cap. Bottom is M. rodantha. The other i'm not so sure, possibly halbingeri. How magnificently rotund he is, though!

picked these lads up yesterday for a mother's day gift. unlabeled at the shop so i'm having to guess they are emoryi, but not 100% sure.

Cylindropuntia sp. "Mini Cholla", Southwest US & Mexico haven't identified the exact species yet, but Mervyn (the other pointy thing i raise) has once again identified that cactus is pointy. way to go, champ.

Crassula perforata 'Variegata' aka "String of Buttons" or "Variegated Necklace", South Africa a very cute gift for @youcutoffheads from @lavndr-latte

pointy pals ayyyy
