Verne grew out and planted several cactuses from his 2006 import of Karel Knize KK242 cactus seed.
Verne was characteristically displeased with Knize, the seeds, just about everything really, but some really nice plants resulted. Verne wrote that on his much larger order in 2007 he got zero germination.
This is one of the plants I purchased from Verne many years ago and has now developed into a nice large stand.
