Is this terminal?

This Gymno has turned a funny colourover the winter. I thought it was on its way out but a few days ago I noticed that a couple of flower buds had started to sprout. The plant itself is still solid, no squishy parts. Will it ever recover its greenness or is it in termjnal decline?

Have you watered it since spring has arrived? Might just be shriveled from its winter rest.

I believe it can recover. They get red-brown sometimes.

It's been watered a couple of times but not overmuch as I thought it might have had it. I'll start to give it a bit moe from now on.

Gymnocalycium bayrianum var. brevispinum would be my guess.

I think it's fine, just a bit dehydrated. Gymnos like warmth, may be a bit slow to get started in spring in northern climates.

Fingers crossed, then!
