Today's haul from a small succulent show in Tokyo. From the left, Adromischus marianiae var. herrei, a hybrid Orthonna (cremnophila X herrei), Myrtillocactus geometrizans also known as "Boobie cactus" (no, really!) and a pwetty wittle Pseudolithos cubiformis.

Love every single of'em already!

Boobie cactus gang! One of my favorite plants. It’s got a crazy long name, too, especially when you include the variation. Myrtillocactus geometrizans var. Fukurokuryuzinboku

Yup! "ryuzinboku" (龍神木) is the Japanese name for Myrtillocactus, and "fukuro" is "bag", so in Japanese it's basically "baggy cactus" - I much prefer the English name :)
