Nice chunky cutting arrived this morning. Looks just like the photos. Very happy with this cactus, it is clearly quite mystical in both appearance and presence. Must have for trich collectors.

Beautiful peruvianus. Hopefully I can grow it out into a girthy specimen. Its tad thin at the moment. Will be interesting to see how frequently it terminates too. This aint ‘Fields Sausage’, its a one off ‘Icaros DNA’ seedling that also terminates similarly to ‘Fields Sausage’…. Much slower too apparently. Look forward to seeing it reach maturity.
