This is another plant I've never seen. Magnificent color.

Al

what a georgeous bloom!

Ooo, so nice, CP, and with those sparkling spines to boot!

Thanks folks, Al, this plant is a must!, and downright easy to grow too, on my recent post I posted pics of the yellow/pink flowered form (C. bumamma) another easy plant, denser spination and flowers not as spectacular as this but nice just the same.

CP

Beautiful CP and well grown at that...of course.

Thanks Dawn, I love the "fat" look of the tubercles of this species.

CP

I'm sure that for one of these I will find some bench space.
