Hi every one,

For my birthday last weekend, one of the nurseries I go to often gave me this cactus. The label was lost so they did not want to sell it. To give you an idea of its size, thatÂs a 6.8 inch pot. IÂve been going threw all my books trying to ID it with nothing that looks even similar coming up. Notice its spines are white at the base gradually darkening until they are black at the top. It just finished blooming and I was told the flowers were pink (wish I had gotten to see them, IÂll have to be patient and wait till next year) Dose any one know what it could be? Scroll to see more pictures of it.

Thanks,

Julie
