Identify

Post by Mercedes »

Hi all, I haven't entered here for a long time but I read you often. I have a new cactus now and I'd like to ask you the name, please.

this other one is older. It has a flower. I don't know the name. Do you know it, please? Thanks.

The first one is a Coryphantha.

Second one is some sort of Echinopsis (Lobivia).

Thank you for the names, I will wait to see flourish the Coryphantha to know the second name.

It wouldn't help :)

Corys are easier to ID once they really mature. Flowers are usually same form and color, except some red and pink flowered ones - and those are easy.
