I picked this plant up from the local garden centre a few years ago. It's flowering today and I wonder if anyone has got an ID for it?
Thanks

Re: Neochilenia?
Could be Neochilenia (Eriosyce) occulta. Very variable, but some of them look like this.

Re: Neochilenia?
My guess is Neochilenia Occulta or Huascensis? The thin flower petals suggest to me that there is an element of hybridisation. Nice plant though.
