United StatesI’m very happy with this cactus it looks exactly like the picture
United StatesThe cactus is beautiful and arrived in excellent condition. It had wilted flowers all over it, so I was very happy to see that it was in flowering condition. After a couple of week with me, it has flowered again! My only complaint is that the cactus was very small, and the photos on the product listing made it look larger. It was a bit expensive for the size of the cactus.
