That is crazy beautiful, Thanks.

Was it a wild collected specimen?, wild collected seed grown? or from cultivated seed?

The plant was wild collected someplace in West Texas.

I'll be curious to learn how its seeds grow myself.

killer spiny plant...

ennea-acanthus like 9 spined? ennea = nine in greek

That or 8 is usually true - 7-10 is also possible sometimes - and probably the easiest way to tell it apart from stramineus which always has more than 9 ribs (11-17 ribs most often 12).

Sometimes their spines can be sufficient but both can be really variable in spine length and density making that unreliable.
