No idea. Help please!

Post by tacrolimus »

Good Morning all.
Could you suggest me how to classify this little cactus?
I can not even understand which genus it belongs to.

Thank you
Luigi

Could well be Gymnocalyceum horstii but I'm no expert.
It also looks a bit black on the top but that might change to green.
Latin is a dead language thank goodness.

Echinocereus knippelianus I think, one of my must haves.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

Agree with Ade. It should flower at that size too. My seedlings flowered just over two years from seed in the 2 inch pot they were set in. This shot of mine was when it was just a bit older:-
