Awesome! The climate in Thailand would be great for growing loph's. I wonder how old she is? She looks at least 20 years old. Nice cactus porn!

Grin...

a form of melocactus, at least i think that's what i can decipher from the sign... it's like a bishops cap sort of cactus... search google images for the melocactus variegata, similar pics (smaller cacti though) come up...

Is that any more useful?

Incredible cactus has some incredible Lophophora if you search through the pages. Some of those Ariocarpus make you do some serious thinking about how they came to be. They seem too incredible to be true. Other than that, I like page 9 of that same site.
