Gymnocalycium uruguayense is one of my favourites and I have had it for over 30 years. I like the way the spines fold themselves back onto the body of the plant and I like the large yellow flowers.
This plant is grown from a pup a few years ago. Here is the main plant:
Sometimes the old heads will stop growing for a few years. The offsets tend to come up under the soil and are sometimes quite poorly formed. Once they get some light they will grow fine. I have taken several off over the years.
I would like to get a pink flower version but have not seen one for sale. Let me know if anyone finds one!
