A little cracker?

Notocactus ottonis v. jaousekianus which flowered this morning whilst I was away.

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.

It opened its flowers whilst I was away. I saw it on my return, luckily photographing it before they closed.
