I have no intention buying these but I am just curious about the single cactus. My first thougt was a light starved E. grusonii but looking at the pics a bit more, I got unsure..

There're 2 different plants on the pictures:
1st Echinocactus grusonii var. intermedius, etiolated
2nd Echinopsis oxygona with offsprings

Thanks a lot Anttisepp 😊 Based on the numbers of etiolated cacti one sees on different platforms, it should be a var. of its own, e.g.; E.grusonii var.etiolatus 😜 Speaking of grusonii’s, the var. intertextus looks really nice! Are they uncommon in trade?

Not very often in sell, very pretty IMHO ( I have 2 :) ).
But it grows very huge and it's really perfect plant for southern frontyard in company with some agaves and yuccas.
