The Apocalypse has started.

Love them SLD.

Braaaaainnnssss....

Btw what do you have these guys potted in?

These are skull pots I printed on my son's 3d printer. Oh, and, yes, they have drainage holes :-)

Looks good

aloebot - love that Mammillaria - I cease to be amazed at what cacti will do!!!

aloebot, I love all of them. Hope that Cyphostemma starts to grow again. Damage can make plants grow in such interesting ways.

I don’t have many monstrous type plants, but here’s a few;).

Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum

Monvillea spegazzinii f. cristata

excuse the ugly hail marks.

Especially love that Astro!

Here are a couple more of mine...

Euphorbia obesa cristata

Euphorbia flanaganii cristata

I meant to show this yesterday. I found this pic on the internet months ago and thought it was so neat. It’s a crested flower on a Cereus monstrose;). Pretty special in my book;).

Wow, Kara, that flower is fabulous! I've never seen anything like it.

Here's another teeny oddity, not crested just growing strangely.

I low key collect crested succulents. I love how unpredictable they are. Here are a few of them.

A tabuliforme

Echie hybrid ‘Surf’. I think the crested form actually looks like the surf.

They say you should cut off the normal rosettes, but I like the combo look. Forgot what this one is.

Euphorbia hybrid

And this giant noid medusa octopus echeveria with one big crest in the middle, and arms going off in all directions containing either normal rosettes or flowers at the ends. It’s so big and wild it doesn’t photograph well, but I love it.

Those are awesome Sara. I like the first one the best.

Sara, I don't think I could choose a favorite out of all of those!

Sara I had a crested A. tabuliforme, but unfortunately lost it the winter of 2017. I wish I would have taken better care if it tbh. It’s a cool plant. The funny thing I was able to keep that thing alive for 5 years, but I’ve had at least 3 regular tabuliforme that will die on me within a year. Go figure;).

Thanks everyone! These guys are so constantly changing, I can never settle on a top favorite. Great thread.

Kara - I’ve had the exact same experience with A. tabuliforme. I’ve had this crested one about a year and it’s been an easy keeper so far, put on tons of growth this season. I rotted two of the regular kind and then the third one flowered a month after I got it. But it’s too cool a plant to not keep trying. :)

Funny you say the third one flowered. I’ve thought that once I was able to keep one alive longer than a year it would unfortunately flower soon after that year mark. My luck;).

I usually lose the regular form to sun burn and they just never snap back. They don’t do well in the heat. It’s almost like they melt like chocolate.

A. tabuliforme is such a cool plant, and I agree to lovely to give up. One day I’ll get it. It’s like they need to be grown up again rocks vertically.

Here's a couple, Mammilaria celsiana, I believe mealies ate the meristem and this is how the plant reacted.

trouble staying on its roots.

Rob, sometimes damage can be a good thing.
