But you're not gonna tell us what it is, Ralph? I'll have a stab in the dark, and say Gymnocalycium spegazzinii, maybe from Cafayate?

[ralphrmartin]

Spot on, Diane. Not too far from Molinos. These plants were 15-20cm across.

That last photo is awesome! So are some of the others.
Sorry Bill, not a lot of sympathy, you set up the competition(very good idea) and I suppose you have to judge it.
Really looking forward to the next competition.
