The listing, One Pine-cone Cholla Pad has ended.
This auction is for one pad from my private collection.This makes a wonderful care free Holiday gift. From western Argentina, Tephrocactus articulatus var. diadematus is a nearly spineless form of the species. At least none of the ones in my collection ever formed spines except for some small glochids on the new growth. These usually fall off as it ages. Segments generally grow longer and narrower than var. papyracanthus, reportedly up to a foot tall. Mine are generally a bit shorter than that. The flowers are very similar to var. papyracanthus.
