A pale blue-green Lotusland segment held out at arm's length against a bright blue sky, three broad flat rib faces toward the camera and long amber spines from widely spaced areoles, with a redwood fence behind and a bushy gray-green cactus in the bed below.
Growing

Lotusland

A melty bridgesii with a look of its own. Tips can come with very few ribs — one cut from this plant was a 4-wind.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Tell me when it’s cut

When a cutting off Lotusland is listed, I’ll email you to say so (if you are not signed in, after you have opened the link I send first). I only have one of most things, so it is first come — nothing is held.

Email me when this is available. I understand this notice is about the plant I asked about, that I can opt out from any message, and that my address is not shared with anyone.

You'll get emails from the yard. Unsubscribe any time.

What it looks like

Ribs
Tips sometimes carry only a few ribs.
Spines
Spines are reportedly inconsistent: some sections carry none, others the long honey-colored spines typical of the species.
