Hmm and just to clarify you are referring to this vendor right?  Security Measure

What doesnt make sense is that if this is this guy, and he really is just out for a buck and not in it for the plants.. he has quite the extensive website all about the cactus he sells and he even had a lot of authentic cactus. At least supposidly its authentic. My Peruvian Torch var. Wild Andes and my latest Bridgesii is from the same guy.
