Acquired an extra special cactus today. A Trichocereus bridgesii, but this particular one is a rooted cutting of a cactus from Alexander Shulgin's personal garden. This particular bridge is "Kimura’s Bridgesii". Makoto Kimura, and his daughter, Fumi Kimura, were expert Japanese horticulturalists. Fumi brought this cactus to Sasha, with whom she shared a special bond over her father's lifelong love of cacti. The Kimura Bridgesii was sold by Ann Shulgin in a 2019 fundraiser auction to raise funds for their greenhouse repairs.
