I can call it a
Mediolobivia if I want to.

Mediolobivia pectinata var. atrovirens or
Rebutia pygmaea or whatever it is called these days.

Hi Rod, only 10 days gone with this months comp. and it looks as if you are going to have a headache deciding the winner. The standard is awesome, I cannot compete with my little point and shoot camera. Ha Ha. PS will give it a go though. Cheers

Great topic Rod!
I will start by pulling the old Mediolobivia trick as well :
Rebutia (Mediolobivia) torquata
always partial to bicoloured flowers, especially on a very spiny plant like this one :
Lobivia maximiliana
I don't grow Mammillarias as a rule but always find bench space for this little beauty :
Mammillaria perezdelarosae
will close my contribution with 3 nice Matucanas :
Matucana yanganucensis
Matucana aurantiaca
Matucana huagalensis
