I have this plant that is labelled Acanthocalycium klimpelianum that I grew from seed many years ago.
It looks pretty much identical to my Acanthocalycium glaucum, with just a slight variation of petal shape and shade.
Are Acanthocalycium klimpelianum much different to this or have I got my labels mixed up at some time in the past?

Re: Flowered ?
Acanthocalycium klimpelianum is a synonym of A. violaceum, so the labels have got muddled at some point.

Thanks Terry.
I have A. violaceum as well and they are quite different plants.

Still only buds and rain here, but looking at your photos they look good.

Re: Flowered ?
Nice to see one of my old friends again, Ray. I had that plant for well over 20 years. Your record keeping is meticulous. Seeing my name on the label was quite a surprise!

Hi Peter
20th September 2019 the label says, on one of your sale days, I must pop down again sometime and have a chat and see what other goodies I can find in that magical greenhouse of yours.
