Gymnocalycium bicolor

Gymnocalycium bicolor is a cactus which, as can be understood from the name itself, has two distinct colors: the lower part and closest to the root is a yellowish color with brown shades, while rising towards the apex it becomes more and more green. Its stem is formed by fairly deep ribs in which there are numerous well-defined tubercles. From these arise long whitish thorns which, rising towards the top, can change slightly in color becoming more greyish and brown. This much loved and sought after species is essentially a very simple but always beautiful plant to show off. From this Gymnocalycium, magnificent flowers can be born on white with shades of other colors.
