The Pachypodium is not mine, it is a friend's plant, I had one I grew from seed but I lost it one winter. These are native Pachypodiums, I think you know the Madagascan ones, they are more common internationally.
Haworthias are not expensive here, you can buy them from 2-15 USD.
Orchids and carnivorous plants are mainly cheap imports from Asia although there are a few local growers. We have quite a few native orchids although they aren't commonly sold. I didn't get good focus on the flowers but this little one grows in the grasslands here

The picture is fine, your Astro is awesome! I didn't know Astros did that until last week - I had one that was attacked by bugs but it only grew something ugly like a verruca out of the aureole
