Gymnocalycium?
Gymnocalycium?
I thought at first this might be a Matucana of some description, but now leaning towards Gymnocalycium, possibly G. oehnanthemum. Or am I miles away?

Re: Gymnocalycium?
Thank you. You're spot on as usual. I don't nnow how you do it! None of the photos on this site resemble my photograph. There's one on Llifle that looks vaguely similar but most of theirs are out of focus. ID of any plant is not easy!

Re: Gymnocalycium?
This species was among my first own seedlings long time ago. Still alive, very large, flowers and feel fine!
Re: Gymnocalycium?
I would agree with G. saglionis, but at such a juvenile age, there is an outside chance it is also G. pflanzii. They are very hard to distinguish when young. When they flower though, it is quite obvious; pflanzii will have a red throat to the flower.

I'll keep a watch on the colour when it flowers. Thanks.

Pflanzii more "bald". Flower tube is more notable while saglionis has shortest among Gymnovalyciums flower tubes, "sitting" flowers, ball- shaped buds. This guy is saglionis, trust me
