History

Originated from a Mammillaria bocasana cactus.

Trivia

Capable of motion. Momentum is somewhat slow.

As of typical cacti specimens, can be considered a genetically hermaphroditic plant.

Evidently has budded from the posterior region.

This has created a visual series of tails.

Evidently has reached maturity. The cactus he originates from remains small.

May live up to 50+ years.

Has sharp thorns, although not very evident through the trichomes. Celeste holds him with gloves in order to move her.

A towel or other buffer may otherwise be used in emergencies.

He currently appears to be flowering, which is a sign of good health.

Drinks water and eats through her apparent legs.

Capable of visual perception, although his eyes apparently present may be limited in wavelengths perceived.

In comparison, plants typically have limited photoreceptors that detect changes between light and shade, aside from colours such as red/far-red, violet/UV-B, and blue/UV-A.

The photoreceptors that determine the circadian clock, flowering time, and hormone signalling are also assumed to remain.

Technically resides in a box of dirt in Celeste's room.

She does not often divert from that space, not being often allowed to go far and become potentially misplaced.

He occasionally is put on a windowsill to look out.

Flowers due to being over 2 years of age.

Anthesis is bolstered by intermittent walks outside in the garden space.

Can turn her head and look up and down, although only moderately.
