| I found this growing in a bookshop in the city at the weekend. The woman in the shop has no idea how old it is, there was also a rather clapped out Cleisto. strausii which was much less photogenic. Intersting books there too! CP | |

| It looks fairly old CP. I love finding random old cacti in peoples yards too.
Where was this book shop? | |

Where was this book shop? Apparently it's around 50yo, has been in this bookshop in Sandy Bay/Battery Point (Hobart - Tas) for quite a number of years. CP | |

| That is a real beauty CP.
Even though E. grusonii is one of the more common cacti around, seeing an old multiheaded specimen like this one is pretty cool. | |
