Rebutia minuscula var. violaciflora



     From the mountains of northern Argentina, Rebutia minuscula var. violaciflora is a clumping globular cactus with heads to 2.5 inches across. It grows at elevations of 5 to 10 thousand feet so I imagine it to be fairly cold hardy. It has fine flexible white spines. The pinkish purple flowers are responsible for the violaciflora name, Rebutia minuscula normally has red flowers.
