Any help with Gymnocalycium id?

Post by babytoes1956 »

I bought this as a ‘lost label' Gymno on e-Bay in 2019, though this yellow label arrived with plant. The first letter looks like a hastily drawn J, followed by CHCPCZ72. I can’t find any combination that works in any database. Does the CZ before the 72 possibly suggest a Czech collector. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It hasn’t bloomed for me yet, but has taken on a lovely purple coloration from our recent heatwave.

Don't know the name. Could be a number of things.

If you haven't done so already, get that weed out before it takes off.
