Very nice Astro flower! I like that kinda flat-looking asterias? to the top right, how old is it?

Top right of the middle photo I assume? (The plant in the very far, rear corner of my table) I'm not sure of its age. I have had it for about two years and it was pretty large before then. It is not actually flat, but rather it's pretty tall for an A. asterias. I'll be sure to post a better photo of it in my next bunch of photos. It is a pretty plant! 8)

Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
