Mediolobivia hybrid leopygmea

Post by Sylvia »

I really love this plant I bought it in 2015 and it has never failed to delight me when it flowers:-

That is a spectacular flower colour! Is Leopygmaea the name of the hybrid?

Hybrid it may be ... beautiful it certainly is.
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.

Not seen that one before - it's a beauty - deserves a better name though.

Hi Sylvia

Where did you get it?

And can you show us what the spines look like?

Thanks!
