T peru "Nubs" aka “Icaro Pheno 2” (10-11" Tip Cutting)
1 of 4 hand selected Icaro phenos in the Mallacht’s Plants garden. Icaro Pheno 2 isn’t offered often as it grows a bit slower than Icaro Pheno 1. It is also more glaucous (bluish-grey) and far more notchy
An amazing peruvianus orginally acquired from my good friend Joel V in Texas.
It was named "Nubs" after the NOFX song of the same name. 🤘🎸
***Cuttings shown are examples of cuts you may receive. Your cut will be of similar girth and appearance.***
From a Facebook post I made in the Mallacht’s group:
All of the 4 Icaro Phenotypes in the garden have officially been named:
Icaro Pheno 1 = “Moon Child”
Icaro Pheno 2 = “Nubs”
Icaro Pheno 3 = “Atreyu”
Icaro Pheno 4 = “Shawty” (shortest spines out of all 4 of them by far)
Both “Moon Child” and “Atreyu” are references to the movie “The Neverending Story”
“Nubs” is because of the notchy areoles it has. A reference to the song by the same name by NOFX
