Character

Growth habit: Melty and twisted, and every new section seems to do something a little different.

The cut end of an MDCC stem held up against a clear blue sky, its five ribs making a five-pointed star of pale green flesh with a paler rind around the edge and a faint ring near the center, long straw-colored spines standing off each point. — My plant, in the yard.
