SUCCULENT SUNDAY: Rebutia neocumingii, syn Weingartia neocumingii
Bolivian cactus Rebutia neocumingii was known under genus name Weingartia from its description by Backeberg in 1950 until Weingartia was combined under Rebutia
by Hunt in 1987. Its flowers can be yellow, orange or red depending on
locality. It's normally solitary and unbranched, though the individual
pictured is sprouting additional heads. Typically this species has much
longer spines; this plant was obtained as form brevispina. It is about 7.5 cm across; at full growth, it can reach 10cm across and up to 20cm in height.
