Cereus forbesii monstrose – Ming Thing “OG Ming” (Medium)

This is the original—a true OG in my collection. I found this wild, sculptural cactus in Baltimore years ago, and it’s been a captivating presence ever since. Its twisted, textured folds look like molten stone caught mid-splash, each mound curling into a uniquely abstract form. Unlike fast-growing succulents, this one evolves slowly—each new bulge or curve emerging over time, like nature sculpting in real time. It doesn’t ask for much, just light, patience, and curiosity. For me, it’s always been a symbol of creative chaos and calm endurance—something I return to often with quiet admiration.
