Heh. It was once in the genus yucca but has since been moved to another genus. So you were right as well. I'm not such a stickler for staying up to date with name changes. People that get like that are boring and I have little time for them. While they're arguing about names I'm our discovering new plants.

Yes. Two things in particular suffer from being pushed to grow fast (apart from the spination, which is little more than a cosmetic issue): epidermis thickness and root development. Cacti bought from supermarkets and flower shops should be grown for a few months with some care, for they are not as strong and resistant as those hard grown from germination.

He was a very nice specimen so I had to pic him up. Also he seems to not have been forced into rapid growth with nitrogen like almost all other cacti you buy at department stores.

Ok, I will qualify myself as a learning identifier. I pretty much know I am gonna get this wrong, so be gentle guys, but my guess is T. terschekii? Although, now that I am looking again, the spines look different just a bit... like they are more curved than what I know a terschekii to have...
Idk, just throwing something out there.

Nice indeed, good catch. And one of the few species of the genus you can id. correctly even at a young age.

Eh, its cool. Like I said, I figured I might get it wrong. But I threw out the only one I knew of that I knew of that looked like something I recognized.

Someone has been playing silly buggers with the labels around your way Lemnaminor! The plant in question is more northerly than the trichs or gymnos so far suggested.

It appears this cactus has a use other than it's striking beauty. I found this USE: The "Candy cactus" is used to make sweets. The middle is cored out and soaked in sugar, then chopped up and eaten. I would never do this to my son though

Well, this is commonly sold in nurseries where i live, and you can buy it really cheap ( the exemplar here was bought for 1.5 euros) Actually even though this has really vibrant red spines, it's a bit of time that i look for the yellow spined specimen.
