It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.

Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that’s why I bought too many yet again :)

    Valdezii seems to be a synonym of ritteri, and hintonii is the second one, so unless Wikipedia is wrong (which is of course possible), I got’em both (the one in the back is hintonii, the label is covered from this angle): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztekium

      Thank you for clearing this up. I thought the ritteri is the one with lots of wrinkles. I loved the valdezii for its beauty and the ritteri for its ugliness lol. But perhaps this characteristic is very variable within the species.
