Parodia haselbergii graessneri cv. Orange Flower?

Post by graffiti »

Got this at the CTSS show and sale early this month. It was unnamed and nobody at the table would even hedge a guess. I was kind of expecting it to flower like a Reubtia but clearly that didn't happen. The only thing I've come across that's even close is the title species, Parodia haselbergii subs. graessneri cv. Orange Flower. Sorry about the potato pics, if anybody wants better photos I do have a real camera that will take better photos.

Anybody confirm or deny?

Close, but I think Parodia gracilis is closer!

Definitely not P. haselbergii, which has 30+ ribs and a dense covering of bristly spines. Parodia nivosa?
