Not exactly sure what kind of cactus this is but it had a cool looking flower earlier this summer. The tag next to it is for a different plant, I really don't know much about cacti/succulents.

Thank you, I have it in a hyper-tufa trough with a few other cacti and succulents. I just got into growing these over the past year or two and have really enjoyed them.

Do you have any idea what type of cactus this is? The pictures I looked at made me think Gymnocalycium because the flowers and buds were a close match but really hard to say. It's hard to identify cacti, they change names way too often and there are so many different ones! I wish the garden centers would tag their plants!

That is the problem with trying to ID a cactus, I have seen a few pictures that look like close matches but the one you mentioned looks closer than anything else I have seen. There are sites with pictures, the problem is there are so many to look at and a lot of them look very similar.

It is beautiful, altogether with those little stones.
