With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
mind ‘cactus taxonomy is the pursuit of the impossible by the incompetent’ - Fearn & Pearcy, Rebutia (1981)

Nope, it's a friend I bought for him, Gymno calyceum baldianum, or a chin cactus. Such a happy surprise. It has one more to bloom. There was a third, but it looked like it had been damaged at the nursery and that one was half dried and brown at the top so I plucked that one off. The next day this one opened.
