Hello everyone.
A few years ago I bought this plant labelled Tephrocactus Darwinii,but all the pictures I've found even habitat plants,have very green pads.As you can see these newer pads have a definite dark tint to them.

Any ideas?.

The last time it flowered was 2006,but I cant remember what colour they were(old age problem).

Its in a 6" pan if thats any help.

It is a bit of a spikey monster isn't it?.
