To my collection has been added Astrophytum capricorne var. niveum.
Astrophytum capricorne var. The niveum was discovered and first described in 1930. Homeland of its growth is the north of Mexico.
Astrophytum capricorne var. niveum blooms with yellow flowers with a red heart, flowers reach a diameter of 10 cm.
Spherical stem eventually stretches to 25 cm in height and 15 cm in diameter.
At the age of seven Astrophytum capricorne var. niveum becomes completely braided prickles.

Thats interesting how it has very few spines on it.. Most Cacti are just covered in them or not at all. This one seems to only have a couple.
The rest of the prickles were broken off.
But I bought it anyway, because he was the only one!
And it happens rarely.
Very sharp cactus!! Not edible!!
