Our local cactus club invites a different dealer each month to sell cacti at our meetings. This time I bought two, I think I got a good deal. Total for both was 19 dollars.

nice looking plants! but isn't that a bit expensive?

Four days later.
The Astrophytum myriostigma is in a 6" pot and is 4.5" tall and 4.5" in diameter. The other is in a 2.5" pot. Any plain Jane cacti at Lowes, HD or even Walmart starts from about $3.00. The small one was $4.00 and the bigger one was $15.00. Internet alone is $5.00 freight on any shipment. The only time I see these local is at our cactus club meetings and most of the time they are even more. California isn't cheap.StrUktO wrote:nice looking plants! but isn't that a bit expensive?

Those are great plants at fair prices...you saved money & you did good!
Re: I think I did okay
To me that looks really odd. My A. myriostigma is a lot smaller than my A. ornatum and so your picture makes my head spin

Good looking plants, CH. I think you did good.
Re: I think I did okay
if you are willing to pay what someone is asking and you want the plant bad enough the price is always right in my mind.
