This miniature cactus is interesting as both an abstract study of spination and for their wonderful flowers. Hope you enjoy.

Great plant for mealybug to hide themselves on (see pic2)
Seriously, I love the little Turbinicarpus species (and they don't take up much bench space either) - the species are quite variable (spination) and some have an attractive grey body colour too.
Pic1 is a stunner - would have folks guessing for hours!

Turbinicarpus used to be considered very rare and difficult when I first started in the 1960's, as were Ariocarpus. I find they are now some of the easiest plants to raise from seed for me and will often flower in their second or third year.
