Man If I didn't know better I would say that is the fucsha colored tempance [spelling] that we found in extreme southern Florida. One question Josh...the blooms are about 1-1.5" right...?

the blooms are more around the 2" mark. very cool tho. i dont think this is a tampensis form. the plant its self doesnt look right and the petals are severely spoon shaped. tampensis has teh thick super pointed leaves, like a blade of a sword. the pseudobulb of tampensis is more egg shaped than these as well. i dunno tho man. i would love to put a name to it.

rebutia kriansiana



rebutia sp bolivia

Josh
The red form of tampensis has the spoon shaped petals and is a bigger bloom , some say they are a cross [natural] between plicata and tampensis
Dude it is a nice plant non the less

really??? that is interesting. does it have the different shaped leaves on the plant as well?? i gotta look that up. thanks john.

we are a team here
