Lobivia sp.

It is a small cactus of a globular shape, which tends to become cylindrical with growth, equipped with deep longitudinal ribs, thickly covered with spines. The characteristic, for which these plants are most appreciated, is undoubtedly the presence, in summer, of its truly spectacular flowers: large funnel-shaped inflorescences (often larger, than the cactus itself!) bloom from the sides of the stem, are of very bright and varied colors, sometimes even enriched by evident shades within the same petal.
