Cactus Flowers in the Winter
While I don't know the name, I believe it belongs to the genus Rebutia or Sulcorebutia. I doubt Lobivia because of the flower color. So if anyone can help, I'd appreciate the assistance.

Just got a note from someone I know who really knows his cactus. He says this is Rebutia marsoneri. It sometimes goes by the name R. krainziana or R. marsoneri v krainziana. The flowers can be variable from reds to oranges.

I had a large cactus and succulent collection many years ago and changes in my life put an end to the collection. Now that I am into orchids, I have renewed my passion for them again.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments.....

I agree, nice color! I guess cacti/succulents are like orchids, once you're hooked, it's hard to completely drop them. Glad you're back to them. Where do you keep them all? Out with the orchids?
