What are the names of the two little cactus 🌵?

Thanks for the reminder to add them ha. I thought of famous twins, so The Wonder Twins it is.

I love how the mother plant is corking at the base. Such interesting plants!

It's feast or famine. I remember taking a bunch of pictures that week.

I recently found out that when E. obesa pups like this, it’s in fact a hybrid—still trying to find what else it was crossed with.

#### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2024-12-30

I’m glad you mentioned this, as I read the same on a random Facebook comment last year. I thought I made it up.

#### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2024-12-30

Aha. “Euphorbia Obesa Hybrid is an interesting succulent that is a combination of E. globose and Euphorbia obesa.”
