A pretty, orange flowered plant now seen as a relatively trivial variation within the range of R. fiebrigii that comes from Bolivia. The Llifle encyclopedia says: "Description: Rebutia simoniana is one of the many geographical forms of the extremely variable Rebutia fiebrigii. The Rebutia simoniana forms form low cushion covered by dense furry white spines and produces vibrant orange flower. The dense spines would protect it from the extremes of cold and sunshine. Habit: It is a small solitary or mound-forming cactus spreading out to 15 cm. It grows quite close to the ground and offsets only with age. It would appear that in cultivation they grow larger and cluster more vigorously than in habitat." |
