Gymnocalycium .....

What kind of Gymnocalycium is this? I have not been able to see it in full bloom yet but it is definately not white or pink!!

Gymnocalycium mihanovichii.

I would certainly claim that. And a nice yellow one. I have to find one of that kind for myself. I only have pink and white ones.

I used to have one like that; greenish-yellow flowers, very weird. One of my favorites. Sadly, it got caught out in a thunderstorm and soaked when it had been watered the day before, got root rot. It started turning red, I thought it was getting too much sun...could have saved it if I'd realized. Oh, well, you live and learn. I'd like to get another one, myself.

Oh, and by the way, I believe that is full bloom.

I think Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. filadelfiense is the one with yellow flowers.

Great! Thanks for the confirmation.
