In the gardening world cactus spines are deemed to have ornamental value. The value of a cactus rises or falls depending on the proliferation or lack of thick, sturdy spines. This individual though, is in a class, or perhaps a dimension, of its own. Spines that ought to have developed neatly, have grown in crooked or not at all, the plant’s scruffily feral appearance probably due to being kept in a harsh environment.

Kohei Oda,re-knowned florist and Qusamura owner,
shows a new view of succulent cacti.
He values not only the color and shape,
but the uniqueness and background of each plant.
Selected plants are full of character, unusual,
and sometimes a bit too weird for the general market.
By Oda's hands, they are beautifully presented
in various pots emphasizing their charms in an art form.
