Xerophyte

Description

Fred is one of the most famous and strange monstrous cactus cultivar that forms very rubbery and squishy green and pink glob. It is a mutation that formed on a normal Mammillaria bocasanaSN|8970]]SN|8970]]...it was cut off and started on it's own. This cultivar shows many growing variations, with different crested and monstrous shapes. The plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus. Rarely a spine or a hair, monstrous or crested flowers. It may enlarge to form low, massive clusteres.

Stem

Soft, smooth, lumpy, rubbery-textured (much like a tumor) green and pink, some only a few centimetres across. Sometimes it will grow a branch that reverts back to a normal looking cactus, complete with spines and flowers (sort of a reverse of how a Fred began), while the rest of the plant remain mostly monstrous.
