Eriosyce heinrichiana var. setosiflora

I think it's time to post something other than the Echeverias. The name is longer than the plant flower, and it's a large flower for the size of the plant. (For some, the name becomes Eriosyce heinrichiana ssp intermedia var. setosiflora!) Nice plant. Horrible name! I thought the whole point of the binomial system was to get rid of  unwieldy names like this. (Just my frustration showing through...)
 
Enjoy your plants!
