Turbinicarpus

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus is an extraordinary cactus with many small spirally-arranged tubercles tipped with tiny white spines in a comb like formation. Flowers are pinkish white to bright pink with darker magenta or reddish-brown mid-veins.

Turbinicarpus mombergeri is a naturally occurring hybrid between T. pseudopectinatus and T. laui. This plant pass a pectinate-plumose spine stage in which they are already floriferous. Most of the plants in time develop longer spines. It is quite variable

Short black spines.

T. klinkerianus stands out for its pyramid-shaped tubercles and short spines (just 3 per areole), which have a soft, corky texture and transverse fissures—typically reduced to one in adult plants. Its ivory-white flowers display subtle magenta veining.

Gracefully elongated in shape, featuring radial white spines and dark central spines. Its flowers range from pale butter-yellow to rich pink, offering a beautiful color gradient.

Turbinicarpus alonsoi is a small cactus with a large tap-root, and only the apical part of the stem exposed at soil level. The spines are flattened, cardboard-like, grey with dark tip, irregularly bent inwards, frequently weathered, not piercing.

This is a very distinctive short spined variant of the famous Turbinicarpus flaviflorus. This variety has very short corky golden-brown spines that contrast well with the body which is coated in a whitish bloom.

Tiny cacti with pretty long, curly and flexible central spines. They bear nice white flowers even on cm young specimens. Exceptionally beautiful plants!

Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. dickisoniae is similar to Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. gracilis the closest variety. Radials spines 18-24 white 2mm long on young areoles (areole in old specimens have only central spines).

Turbinicarpus alonsoi is a small cactus with a large tap-root, and only the apical part of the stem exposed at soil level. The spines are flattened, cardboard-like, grey with dark tip, irregularly bent inwards, frequently weathered, not piercing.

Gymnocactus beguinii is a small usually solitary, globose cactus with magenta funnel-shaped flowers. The anthers are dark chrome yellow. The style is creamy white.

Spines in creamy-white to pale yellow-brown tones. The flowers, abundant at the stem's apex, range from pink to light magenta, with darker central veins. It is among the first cacti to flower, typically in late winter or early spring.

Differs from ssp. gracilis by its dense juvenile fuzz, record number of radial spines (up to 24—the highest among schmiedickeanus), and wiry centrals. At maturity, both fuzz and radials disappear, leaving only the slender central spines.

Stem dark green-bluish, semi-globose, depressed, divided into tubercles, merging in a tuberous root 3-5 cm long. The flowers are light cream to slightly pinkish, with reddish throat. They bloom very early in winter (January-February in Europe)

The pyramidal tubercles feature areoles containing just one soft, cork-like spine, crossed by transverse fissures. The spines distinctly bend toward the plant’s center. The ivory-white flowers exhibit magenta striations along the central vein.

Mix of Turbinicarpus, featuring various species, hybrids, and seed-grown cultivars. Each plant is one-of-a-kind, with unique shapes, spination, and flower colors.

Initially bearing only short white pectinated spines, it matures into producing long twisted central spines. Early blooming, even young plants display beautiful cream flowers with pink striping.

Known as Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele ssp. krainzianus, it has a tiny body with just white radial spines when young. As it matures, thin, longer brown spines appear at the apex. It blooms with pretty little yellow flowers!

Small cylindrical plants with tiny combed spines. Over time, long central spines will be produced. Pink flower already in young specimens of 1.5-2 cm. Very beautiful plants!
