Key details visible:
• Body: Flattened, button-like shape with a bluish-green base.
• Variegation: Irregular yellow patches—this mutation is prized by collectors because it’s uncommon and visually striking.
• Wool (trichomes): Thick, cream-colored fuzzy growth across the crown, which is normal and often more pronounced in mature or well-grown plants.
• Flower: Small, delicate pink bloom with a yellow center—this is a good sign the plant is healthy and mature.
• Substrate & pot: Mineral, well-draining gravel in a shallow pot—ideal for this genus.
Collector value:
• Variegated forms of Lophophora fricii are considered rare and desirable, especially with:
• Strong color contrast (green + yellow)
• Symmetrical form
• Active flowering
