Blooming cactus - Chamaelobivia

I don't have a full name for this one. I am guess it is one of the cool Chamaelobivia hybrids, but since I got it without a full name, I will not even dare to guess what it is. There is so many. And even more that are just hybrids without any registered name. A mongrel if you wish :)

Chamaelobivia hybrid

Currently I have 6 (I think) of those cacti. One is a specie (photo of it in the end) and the rest are hybrids. From what I saw the hybrids are just so much cooler! They have much bigger flowers and they come in different colours. Last year I was showing you some lovely orange one that decided skip blooming this year (such a pity, I love it!), and the classic Silvestrii that is also in bloom now.
And there are two more that I grew from seed that I have no idea what colour they will be (one will bloom soon) and one more little cutting that maybe will bloom next year.

I am starring to like those more and more. They are often called weeds or pests by some cactus growers, because they grow fast and propagate very easily though cuttings that they produce every year. You can see on this one few little ofshoots too. Those will most likely bloom next year already and in the meantime more little ones will grow. I guess those harder to grow ones are more cherished :p
But I like the easy ones. And this is one of them. It is not very picky and as you can see it blooms gorgeous!
And so far it looks like it is stay pretty compact with rather small spines. The red colour is from a little bit too much sun, but it is absolutely fine and healthy!

Look at that center! :)

Since I had two of this type blooming in the same time (the red and pink from photo below) I tried to cross pollinate them. They are growing from seed quite fast too, so it would be fun to see what colour it will be. Pity I don't have any white one to mix the colours.

Here you can see how much bigger the hybrids flower is.
Orange specie on the left, pink hybrid on the right.

Of course before I could even start to take all the photos, the flower had to be checked and approved by the assistant :p
