Gymnocalicium spegazzinii v cardenasianum

 
AUGUST 2015
 
I do like a dark spined dark skinned spegazzinii. I have had this one since 2011 and this is the first year it has flowered. I find it slow and this year whilst it has flowered it seems to be struggling to grow spines.

Gymnocalycium spegazzinii JO854.01


Anyone who reads this blog will know that spegazzainiis are my favourite gymnos. Here is a nice new one that has just arrived.

No idea what the field number refers to so feel free to let me know if you can.

Gymnocalycium spegazzinii bayrianum var. brevispinum

AUGUST 2015

Here it is now in bud and flower:









JUNE 2014




Very pleased to take delivery of this spegazzinii, or should I say "le spegazzinii" as this has come from France via eBay.

Look at the size of those spines wrapping around 3 or four ribs in one go - fantastic!



Gymnocalycium spegazzinii VS79



The spegazziniis are my favourite gymnos. There are so many different types. This one has a green body with pale spines. I like the pinkish hue to the new spines as they grow.
