Origin
The following are excerpts on Sharxx Blue's origins (many from the forum Shaman Australia Botanicals or SAB forums):
Sharxx Blue is an Australian clone originating from the Dawson's Cactus Collection. It was distributed and named by SAB forum member PD after another SAB member Sharxx. It is a fat growing, short spined T. peruvianus that is always extremely blue and glaucous. It is highly likely a peruvianus from Matucana as it is very like the known Icaro DNA, the Los Gentiles, and the Rosei's.
-Pat, SAB member
I got my cutting from a old friend Steve Sharxx. He discovered the plant at a well known garden in central Victoria known as Dawson's and started spreading it into the community. There are a couple of other stunning blues that originate from that same garden that I have labeled T. peruvianus Dawsons #1 and Dawsons #2, all three are similar with slight variations, most likely grown from the same seed batch.

Characteristics
