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:

That's actually a type of Echeveria called Culibra - looks like a bunch of alien trumpets, doesn't it?

It really does! Like something I'd see on Pandora or in no man's sky. Almost looks like it wants to be carnivorous!

Cacti and succulents are my favorite, so many just absolutely strange looking plants.
