Great cactus

As a cactus collector, this is one of the best in my collection. Besides being in mint condition, it is so different that I cannot help but keep looking at it. As usual, The Cactus Outlet sent me nothing but the best cactus, packed well, in great condition and I look forward to ordering more soon.
