Architect is turning out to be one of the best seedlings I’ve selected so far. It is almost certainly a Malo 4 x Malo 4 F2 cross from seed aquired through Misplant, but the tag was lost. It is morphologically amazing, with very flat sides that plump out right below the growing tip. The tip color is luminecent and almost translucent like green jade. The color is very frosty greyish green as seen in many malo4 crosses. The spine size is reasonably small. It usually grows as 6 ribbed and occasionally 7. So far it seems to be relatively petite but I cut it so much for propagation that I don’t have any large mature specimens. This is a very handsome and extremely symmetrical cactus. It lmost looks like it was designed for aesthetic appeal, thus the name. I’ve now grown tens of thousands of seedling, selecting the most interesting for further observation and I don’t name cactus willy nilly. Architect stands out in the crowd.

Architect is currently under propagation for sale. Likely early cuttings will be auctioned until I have enough to put them in the webstore.
