Small monther cactus with several babies.

The cactus arrived on time. Packed carefully with no mess. The size of the cactus is much smaller than I expected. It's diameter is about 1.5 inch.

Lobivia arachnacantha's flame-like flower

When lit up by sunlight, the Lobivia arachnacantha's yellow-orange flower glows like a torch, in stark contrast to its dark green stem with small, defenseless spines. It's a rarity, since most cacti flowers are red, pink, or cream.
