Gonzer mentioned a white Echinocactus grusonii a while ago. Is this the one, in the pot?

The white grusonii's are becoming increasingly available. I had seen them en mass in Texas originally, and recently arrived here in Las Vegas at a specialty nursery called moon-sun,, er was it sun-moon.. I believe they'll be widespread soon. Should make an interesting addition when planted with the original golden plants. The secret is to get them to 'clump'. Fortunately, I finally discovered how to get them to do this, quite by accident.

That's the one Matt. You'll notice the areolas on the new growth are whiter than the ones of the 'normal' species which appear yellowish.
