simply beautiful!
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Indeed, Ralph, nice to see flowers in November on small opuntias.
One of the Cumulopuntia sphaerica group.
We would now consider this small segment species to be Cumulopuntia leucophaea.
See:

and earlier parts.
