Rebutia margarethae

Of all the cacti, rebutias have to be counted as one of my favorites. Flowers vary from smallish to quite large and impressive and most are quite colorful. And, they're easy to grow. What's not to like!

Rebutia margarethae (=Rebutia padcayensis)

You know it's spring when the Rebutias are all putting out their blooms. This is Rebutia margarethae, which is a synonym of R. padcayensis by most accounting. From Argentina and Bolivia, it freely produces offsets and abundant flowers. An outstanding pot plant.
