i bought a load of plants from a nursery that was closing down about a year ago, i sent in an order for a load of rebutia with some extra money and just asked for "some unusual plants" one that i got was Escobaria runyonii which i paid about $5.00 for the only shot i have at the moment is a rather poor one under artificial lights for cataloguing purposes i will try to get some better shots over the next few days..............cactiguide wrote:Escobaria emskoetteriana
