Notocactus magnificus f. variegata

The variegated shape of this plant presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each exemplar absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. Known also with the name of Parodia magnifica, it is a cactus with a roundish shape slightly concave at the apex. It has very symmetrical ribs, straight and well defined, from which emerge areoles initially of a white color, which then with the passage of time assume a yellowish colouration. Its thorns look like bristles, thin, flexible and of an intense golden yellow color. The flowering takes place from summer to early autumn, showing at the apex of the cactus large and beautiful yellow flowers.
