This is one of my Eriosyce napina ssp. riparia and it flowers for the first time. I is grown from seed since October 2010. It is circa 3 centimeter wide and lives in a 7 centimeter square pot with cat litter as topping.
The seed was collected by Florencia Senoret & Juan Pablo Acosta around Trapiche in Chile.

Re: Like a buttercup
Looks perfect, that's a big flower for as little plant. I have copiapoa Solaris that's still growing well from Juan Acosta seed.
