Really cool! Kind of like a flower abyss.

I'm afraid of the spikey ones so I leave them to my sister.

No reason to be afraid of these ... the "spines" are all soft/fleshy. No poking potential at all.

Nice! I love the unusual bloom! Too bad my family would object to having it in the home...when it blooms.
