Which gymnocalycium?

Hi,

Could anybody help me with identifying this gymnocalycium? I can narrow it down a bit by the colour of its flowers (white), but there are still a few possibilities.

Thanks.

I don't know what Gymnocalycium this is. But I do know what that white fluff is on this plant... You want to get rid of this, so I would advice you to scrape if off and repeat this regularly until you see no more of this.

Gymnocalycium damsii?

Thanks Ade,

Having done a spot of Googling, that one seems most likely.

Looks almost identical to mine.

That's a nice one (and not a mealybug in sight!).

Your not a proper cactus collector until you have had mealies!

Thank goodness for that DaveW, I thought maybe I was just rubbish at this cacti collecting malarky. You have put my mind at ease
