my first flowers

did that work?

my first flowers on Notocactus uebelmannianus

That's a great plant, mate. Probably my favourite of all the notos.

is Notocactus uebelmannianus the correct name for this plant?

I think it's classified under Parodia these days, but I prefer the noto naming...

i find the noto naming awkward because it sounds like you have just made the name up in your head and done a realy bad job of it

congrats Darren.

She's a beauty Darren, the purple flowers are always a real treat!
The genus name Notocactus comes from the Greek which means "southern cactus", the prefix Noto means south/southern... it may sound a bit wacky, but the name, as with botanical names in general, tells you something about the plant, so this genus of plants is found in the southern hemisphere ...in South America (Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay).

The Genus Notocactus has now been transferred into Parodia, and this one is known as Parodia werneri... whilie I have tagged mine as such, I still prefer the old Notocactus epithet.

Enjoy your flowers, they hang around for a few days.
