We have been working hard to get some rarer species of Copiapoa and cacti in this year. We are working with a business partner to import these from various farms. Because of new laws it has not been easy to get these in, even with our CITES permit. There are two of these on the upload tonight we do have a few more on the way, not sure if they'll be here in time for next week's upload, but we do have a few more coming. 

This is Copiapoa Hypogaea cv. Lizard Skin. These stress to beautiful shades of bright orange, tangerine and coral. This is a huge, older specimen. At least 50 individual heads on this guy. 

We are not experts in what has been grafted and what hasn't. This one appears to be growing off of one solid mass underneath and has a short hollow stem that has been cut. I do not see evidence of any plant other than the Copiapoa underneath and I see a couple of fresh roots starting to form post transit on this guy. That is the best way I know how to describe the underside of this plant.

She seems healthy. I purchased one of these for myself back in November and it has been extremely hardy for me and is going strong with very little attention. 

This is very nice sized cluster measuring in at about 4" across and is roughly the size of a baseball. I don't see any flaws that jump out at me to point out. Also, I have handled mine with my bare hands and I have not noticed any spines, I'm not saying that's not possible, but for the most part these are friendly little guys.
