Coryphantha aff pycnacantha

We originally got this plant as Coryphantha andraea and have found that that name is placed as synonym status. Like all cacti, it has at least 5 different names because taxoninomist change the name of cacti more than women change shoes. This great pin-cushion -type plant develops rounded, baseball sized bodies and offset and clusters to form small colonies.

Creamy-yellow (with a brownish tinge), 2" diameter flowers are produced periodically throughout the warm season of the year. We have tested it outside in the garden for hardiness and found that at 24 degrees F it had no problem and survived 15 degrees with minor blemishing. Great for the rock garden or pot.
