Taxonomy/ID Question on Blooming Cactus

birdguide
9 years ago

I bought this cactus from a mail order nursery and it was labeled as Gymnocactus viereckii when I received it, which I believe would now would be Turbinicarpus viereckii by some authorities. However, based on my research that species should have a magenta flower rather than white. Does anyone know if there is color variation in the flowers of this species, or has it been misidentified?
