its a beauty. Given that i struggle to spell aquilegia,there is no way i could own one of these;) It is a lovely soft shade of yellow Hywel. Do you know what its latin name means ?

You spelt it right there Sarah :))
"Lobivia" is a mixed up spelling of Bolivia. That's where these cacti grow.
I don't know why they've mixed the spelling up :(
"arachnacantha" comes from the Greek for "with spider web-shaped spines"
