Gymnocalycium horstii f. mostruosa

The monstrous shape of this succulent presents geometric anomalies, for example, sometimes asymmetrical protuberances or absence of thorns, different for each individual exemplar, so much to make each of them absolutely unique and for this extremely sought after by collectors. In its normal form it is a cactus very appreciated for the showy symmetries and the simple elegance of its appearance. Its stem has a roundish shape with ample and little accentuated ribs, tending to reach considerable dimensions compared to other species of the genus Gymnocalycium. It has few areolas spaced and very woolly, of white color, from which come out sparse yellow spines, thin and directed towards the stem. In spring the cactus generates large tubular flowers at its apex on the notes of white and pale pink.
