Arrived in perfect condition. Love those wavy ribs!
United StatesPurchased Three Items
All three items came packaged spectacularly, cacti healthy and loving the beauty of them . The cholla is my favorite. But again, they’re all beautiful. Nice size, too.
United StatesBeautiful, uncommon cactus
Gorgeous cactus, I'd never seen anything like this. Absolutely love it. However, I believe the one I received was infested with scale bugs (see photo) and they have since migrated to the rest of my collection. They're easy enough to get rid of, so it's not a huge deal, but still annoying.
United StatesLove it!
