Turbinicarpus valdezianum
This just opened a couple of days ago. I love the pastel purple color and the plant body is very neat, indeed! Thanks for looking.

Beautiful bloom! The areole look kind of like limpets or this one type of crystal (that I can't remember) overing the plant. Very cool effect!

Cute cactus, looks like a golf ball with a flower on it! The the flowers on this one last longer than a few days?

Technically they're called spines, Tindo ! But I agree, they are really lovely and so is the flower - nice plant, BikerDoc |
