Am from India.it is very difficult to find old cacti producing fruits that commonly in my place,exept for opuntias.so i have this picture of opuntia fruits a bit cylindrical and in phase of ripening.it tastes like a strawberry when ripe! :lol: http://www.cactiguide.com/graphics/forum/cactusveda_4.jpg

am from western India.i have joined this group recently.hope you all will enjoy watching an astrophytum of good size.i love its greyish white colour with a dotted appearance.isnt the shape unusual too?
