Finally got a Gymno!
Saw this cactus in Wilkos, 3 quid, and wasn't sure what it was. I've been hoping to get a Gymno for years and lo and behold it is one. And it has flower buds!

You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Nice plant too. It's never too late to repot, especially when bought from a stores, as they are in variably in pure peat. I have a friend who does all his re potting in Winter, when there is a little more time.

Re: Finally got a Gymno!
Yes, definitely pot it on asap. This will give it a chance to put on some more growth before the dormant period and with a bit of luck the bud will develop further and give you a rewarding flower.
