This is labelled as pterocactus megliollii-australis KP170
I’m not sure myself of that name, I’m thinking more like fischeri.
But it’s a lovely rich red bloom, or would be if only the sun came out here in Lincolnshire.
Red flower, if only for some sun….

Re: Red flower, if only for some sun….
I have a very similar plant that I always assumed was australis, but now I'm thinking it could be fischeri as well. Mine hasn't flowered unfortunately so can't compare.
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Very nice! Hope it opens for you.
I have almost forgotten what clouds look like - and for Lancashire that is remarkable.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

P fischeri does come in forms with flowers that colour.
Does the rest of the label state any of this:
Argentina : Mendoza (Las Chacras - Río Grande I ., Ruta direct to Malargue - San Rafael , right hill before Río Grande, 1272 m) ?

I think I preferred the colour before the sun came out! Nice to see a flower on this plant, anyway...
