Nangbong Geumgum, (US Name Astrophytum Myriostigma, Variegata)

OK guys, I know I will catch a little flack for this one, because there are technically variegated astrophytum available for less. I don't know cacti well, but I trust my eyes and I trust our growers. They call this particular type of variegation 'Nangbong Geumgum' in South Korea, and my cost on this one was $168, I wasn't looking to make a profit on her, I wanted to share. It's not your average variegated astrophytum, these are not stress colors, she will keep this variegation. I am giving you guys less than my cost, I do have one of these in my own collection and she's one of my absolute favorites to look at and her colors have remained super stable. 

This Nangbong Geumgum measures in at 1.25" across, old root system.
