Likely to suffer the fate of Cintia and end up in Rebutia this is still a beautiful plant. This one flowered for the first time a month ago. I really liked it and the smell was eceptionally nice. Out ranks the Discocactus flower perfume any day in my book. Hypnotically sweet with and refreshing citrus overtone. Best I can describe it. Even a month later the dry flower remains are just starting to loose thier smell.
It is quite a rare one and only recently discovered, efforts have been made to protect it. Reminds me a bit of a South American Pelycyphora or Epithelantha. Judging by the fruits it now has it is a self fertile species too. Hope you like..

Edit: Please see image below.

Love to see it but i cant seem to see any photo's on any of your posts...*sigh*

Photo is working for me AmnesiA, try this link perhaps: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3355198320_911742543c.jpg

It's a direct link to the photo cryptocarpa posted.

Nope, I can't see it either. Neither the link nor cutting and pasting are giving me any joy.

I can't either... it just says 'photo currently unavailable'


CP

Maybe he took the pics down? Strange...Anyway I did see the pic when it was first posted. Looked like a pretty interesting plant. I'd never heard of it before.

AWESOME!!
this is the first reference i've found to these in cultivation in Aus, are yours amongst the first?

(i can see the photos in all crypto's posts..?)

I can't see them anymore. I think maybe they've been cached by your comp so you can still see them, but I just cleared my cache and they all disappeared.

For me it works!!!
So do the smileys.

I see it now.

Very nice plant, I'm on a mission to get one now... lol

There it is again. Hey I want one too!

Yeah, could you delete those extra posts please lewis, just make sure to keep the one with the pic up.
