sclerocactus or ferrocactus/

Post by Lucy_V »

I was trying to identify one of my cacti, it looks like Sclerocactus, but majority of them have pink or purple flowers. Mine has beautiful pale yellow flower, and it's bigger than S.brevihamatus tobuschii. May be it is Ferrocactus? Please help

Looks like Ferocactus (Hamatocactus) hamatacanthus.
