I should note that this may well be several in a pot rather than a clump - this particular supplier has a habit of that.

Ah, thanks that makes sense. Looks to be half way between T valdezianus and M leuthyi.
Sorry about the size of the images, I guess I should resize them.

I think it was an excellent subject - it's just not many are going to dig up their plants for it - maybe if we'd had more warning....... :D
