Can anyone ID this beauty that lost its tag? I was thinking t. latisectus. I really didn't like trachys until these two came along. some IPS member suggested these two and I got a tiny liner years ago. Now that I see what came out I like trachys. This thing gets no water and no fertilizer, seems to mind its own business just fine. 20130221_155708_zpsacb9812b.jpg The next one I am pretty sure is t. martianus. But I'd like an expert opinion as well. 20130221_155652_zps1ec1d9c3.jpg
