@purpleinopp posted a pic of this exceptional plant, but I can't find a seller.
Does anyone know where to purchase one?

I've been searching online & locally, but so far no one even knows about it.

Hybrid by Volarth Chi (Taiwan) 2013.

Best luck! TY for sharing the info, a lot of people seemed very attracted to that plant. I only obtain plants by buying in person @ a store or sometimes through a trade.

A similar plant that should be easier to find might be just as appealing:
Echeveria (Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy')

If Stush's plant doesn't make you drool... then what to say?! LOL!


JoAnn's lovely rosette is a great example of what one would likely find to get started:

Indeed. Plant lust. Green Grin! Big Grin I loved the expression.
In some Native languages the term for plants translates to "those who take care of us."

Greetings,

Just came across this post. Please let me know if you ever found yourself one of these, if you have not, I can share a cutting once the one I recently purchased arrives and gets established. Obviously, keep in mind, that it will take a LONG while for it to look even remotely as amazing as the one pictured in your post, but in due time with proper care, it should...

Thanks, EH! That's very generous of you. Thumbs up

Yes, please, I would like one, even a leaf.

Hope you are well & in a safe place.

BTW, I have lots of echinopsis pups if you would like some.
They are amazing cacti.

I've found them on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ech...

But it seems they only post to places in Europe. Maybe someone on here in Europe could buy one and then send it to you.
