Echinopsis lageniformis f. monstrose (Penis Cactus)

October 5, 2008 // I’ve been trying to get one of these from eBay, but I always get outbidded. (I didn’t want to spend over $30 on one). I’ve never seen one in real life, so when I saw this one at the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose 2008 Annual Show and Sale, I had to grab it… and it was only $6.00.

Purchased from Chuck’s Cactus at the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose 2008 Annual Show and Sale.

I purchased these four plants at the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose 2008 Annual Show and Sale.

Dang it! my photo is not totally focused… I’m still trying to learn how to use my new camera.

November 8, 2012 // My Penis Cactus has grown many branches this year. (Yes, that’s it’s real common name)

June 12, 2016 // The Penis Cactus was in bad shape and the base was rotting, so I cut off the heathy parts and I broke off the sections into mulitple part to try to produce more plants.

June 14, 2020 // I cleaned up a few of my succulents

…including the Penis Cactus.
