Alex,
The Discocactus just blows me away! I've not heard of that species before.

Thanks, now I hope to get some seeds from this very rare, endemic, paraguayan discocactus, which seems to be already extinct in ts habitat.
By the way, some authors are seeing this spec. as a synonym to D. heptacanthus, but in this manner, you have to include also the species magnimammus, patulifolios, mamillosus, paranaensis, melanochlorus, lindaianus and others as synonyms.

Regards
Alex
