Really strong red, so unusual in Gymnocalycium.

Lovely flowers, I like this species, mainly because of the flower colour.

One of my favourite gymnos and yours is a lovely deep red. They do vary from plant to plant.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've had this plant around 10 years. It had no label at all. It flowers every year like clockwork. It's one of my favourites in my small collection. 😊

This was my G. baldianum late yesterday

I have a very pink form which is due to flower
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
