Spot the impostor!
Here is a plant which I've had for a few years, which I got labelled as Sulcorebutia langeri VZ126 / 2. It's clearly not that, but I haven't moved it because I like the thought that it thinks it is a langeri . It has a distinctive flower colour which hasn't come out well in the photos- it is more bluish than this- doesn't really fit with anything else I have in the collection, though I guess one or two of my crispata are the nearest. All suggestions are welcome, sensible or otherwise!

Re: Spot the impostor!
I'd agree with that, although mines a little deeper pink.

Could always be a langeri hybrid...
