Excellent dark yellow flowers. Has divided very freely to make a clump. As all of these get bigger, I am thinking of moving them into clay pots to ensure winter dryness.
(I usually keep clear of clay - it is heavy and tiresome, but there are exceptions.) The Llifle encyclopedia says: "Origin and Habitat: Valle Grande to Valle Colorado, Jujuy, Argentina Altitude range: 1400-3000 metres above sea level. Description: Rebutia fabrisii var. aureiflora is a local or morphological form of Rebutia fabrisii with bright yellow flowers instead of orange or red, all the other characteristics are identical, namely size and form of stems, spines, form and dimension of flowers, fruit, etc. This prove, that it is impossible to differentiate between these taxa and var. aureiflora should be fully synonymized with Rebutia fabrisii. |
