Can anyone suggest a name for this one? Any suggestion as to the genus perhaps?

Looks like some form of Gymnocalycium jarium var cookerense.

Looks like Astrophytum myriostigma v. nudum with the wrong flower!

Re: Purple-flowered cactus ID, please?
Thanks - Though I can't find two of those to look up in my copy of Anderson??
It is in fact a Crown Devon preserve pot, probably from the early 1950s... I'm just wondering whether anyone else on the forum collects cactus china (or other items?)?

Haha, it's great!
I thought, that's funny, it looks like porcelain.. oh, wait.....
Now if only the flower had been pink or yellow we would have been fooled.

Tending more towards cacti, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!
