| Hi mate,
You need to link your image from a 3rd party site/storage such as Flickr etc. The forums image storage is full. _________________ My Cacti Blog, please come visit me.

| Looks like a gymnocalycium baldianum. Mine looks identical to that. I'll post a pic later. Beautiful scarlet flowers. _________________ Sneakiest Cephalopod | |

| Woah, HelloNasty is back on ACF? Hi mate, definitely one of the best growers! And yes this looks like a gymno, I think baldianium is right. Never seen one this deflated though. | |

| This my Gymno baldianum. It used to be plump and fresh when I first bought it but I had a very bad year with mealy and it nearly died. Several years later it still hasn't plumped up, even though the roots a very health and it is growing well. I think this is more a natural look for this species.  _________________ Sneakiest Cephalopod | |

| Not normally. This plant threw pups after it nearly died. A survival mechanism no doubt. I will be removing these pups in the near future as I find that they retard the growth rate. _________________ Sneakiest Cephalopod | |
