"Melted Wax" Seedlings

After yesterday's post on my "Melted Wax" bridgesii cacti, I thought I would introduce you to two interesting bridgesii seedlings I am growing. I sourced about 20 Trichocereus bridgesii seeds from a guy living in Australia a couple of years ago. They were all viable and they turned out to be the fastest growing cacti seedlings I have ever grown - well, except for these two individuals, which I believe have become Monstrose "Melted Wax" variations:

A "Melted Wax" T. bridgesii seedling

Another "Melted Wax" T. bridgesii seedling

Whilst their two year old siblings are now already 15cm+ in height, these two characters are just a couple of centimetres tall. They have certainly compensated for their abnormal slow growth with their curious appearance however :o)
