hoping for an ID on this bad boy I very recently acquired. It is in a pot that is at least 30cm in diameter.
Was apparently rescued from a garden where it was completely covered by some kind of ground cover. It looks like it hasn't grown in a while and needs lots of love to hopefully regain some glory and attractiveness. There is also a little bit of damage to the top but I'm not sure if it's damaged the apical meristem, I guess I will find out if it keeps growing or it it pups.
So - what do YOU think it is?
The below pic was taken when I had sprayed water all over it to see if the spines changed colour when wet.
