First bloom of the season on this guy! I think there are a few more buds in the works.

The flower matches the spines 💕🌞

@sunlovin it sure does! Years ago this one got me wondering whether spine color was sometimes an indicator of flower color. I've since learned it's just coincidence. 😅 @lovestogarden thank you!

Thanks for the help @lovestogarden @txgardener @disneyfacts !! Luckily there aren't a whole lot of orange blooming Parodia, so it wasn't a terribly difficult search once you guys put me on the right track. I'm thinking either Parodia horstii or p. ottonis ssp horstii? I'll have to dig a little deeper for the difference between them. Thanks again! ✌️😄
