Went to Tokyo Cactus and Succulent Grand Bazaar today and didn't come home empty handed ;) (i.postimg.cc)

It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.

Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :)

Here are a few closeup shots:

The Conophytums are surreal

They really don't look like actual plants even up close - more like glass or plastic beads. I hope they grow nice - there were bigger specimens available for ridiculous prices too, but decided to get these two tiny ones and try to grow them myself.
