Use this thread to show off cacti that don't need a whole separate thread.
I'll start with this little beauty from a big-chain hardware store. There are offsets and branches as well as a flower, all there when I bought it.

Here is my Stetsonia coryne.
I was away for 2 years in hawaii and this poor guy stayed in a dormant stage the entire time. It was so shriveled and shrunken. This is the first season it has been outside and watered in 2 years and it has plumped back up and is putting out some new spines.

New spines.

EDIT: No perlite

What's with the straw flowers anyway, why do they do that? And are they hot glued? What's the best way to remove them?

Should ID requests be posted here? I don't want to make a whole new thread if it's unnecessary.
Anyway, I know the pics suck, but what can you guys make of this?

ID requests probably would get faster responses as separate threads. Doesn't look magical to me somehow, though I can't say what it is. Looks a bit sickly but that could be the picture.
