Cactus / miracle kabuto

An other miracle kabuto was in flower.
I have satisfied with both of the degree of flecking and body shape but it is not white enough.
I try to find a cleaner of stain but I have not been able to find yet.

Cactus / super kabuto

An other super kabuto was in flower.
I think this one is a typical form of the super kabuto.
Unfortunately it has started to grow height, not width.
