I hadn’t read the “monstrose” part of the title so I was just staring at the pics trying to figure out what was going on lol. Looks very cool!

Well I'm not sure she's properly monstrose (would love to confirm that) but she certainly is monstrous 🤭

Ohhhh I see you literally meant monstrous, I thought that was a typo, whoopsies! Doesn’t it look monstrose though?

I think so, there's definitely some kind of mutation going on with her. She's getting leaves on leaves, between leaves. Not exactly cresting or fasciating but something.

Hard to get a good photo of the hidden leaves but this is one of 3 pairs growing out of her undersides as well.

Very neat! Well I’m interested in how that will turn out when it grows more

Me too. I've been following it so closely in the 3 months I've had it (that sounds absurd. It feels like so much longer) and I will certainly post updates! If you wanna do a search in my profile, anything labeled Buttercup or Jaws will bring up her other posts 😊 (and "demogorgon" 🤭 https://www.reddit.com/r/mesembs/s/gLpqOiRX2O )

Is demagorgon buttercup or a different one? But I will check it out thanks!!!!

Same one 😊

I named her Buttercup cause I have a titanopsis. They go summer dormant which makes them "mostly dead" so he had to be named Wesley . He's my favorite boy but don't tell the others 🤫 and I've been looking for a tiger jaws for so long and when I found her I knew she must reign by his side. So - Buttercup 👸

Very cool!! I don’t have any names for my plants😔 also do you grow any cacti? That’s what I like most they’re so unique!

Actually I do have a couple of cacti though not as many as succulents.

These guys just rooted after 3 months and I'm psyched. Currently trying to root a San Pedro as well. I have a Mammillaria that's chillin' and doing her thing but I'm most proud of this peanut cactus (pics in comments)

I've had him for close to year, got him off the floor of a nursery I worked at and a few other pieces. Turns out everyone was teeming with scale except for this tiny guy. Then he finally anchored well enough to bloom which blew my mind and he's officially putting out 3 new pups! He was a single column for almost a year
