Re: Gymnocalycium id
Many of these plants originate from Dutch nurseries. Here are just a few (hundred thousand) G. baldianum at one of them.

Re: Gymnocalycium id
This an ocean of baldianum! I can only imagine how fantastic this nursery looks like if any of those baldianums flower!
It is a very hard one to actually pin point on what it is.. I think I picked up it in homebase because I just couldn't id when I was in shop and if I can't id its mine. I think the only way to actually know more about its to wait until it flowers.
Its a nightmare to identify gymnos, so many variations...

Re: Gymnocalycium id
Got a very similar one as the original post from my local garden centre recently as well - probably the same batch of imports. I got to G. moserianium when I was attempting to ID it - more based on the similarity of appearance when I looked at recent wholesaler offers than any botanical rigor though!
