Is this that Ferobergia XEchinocactus grusonii? I like its spines, whatever it may be!

Having seen this plant in person just about 3 weeks ago, guessing it was definitely too easy for you :twisted: :lol:

Yes, but you should be impressed that I remembered what it was without having to ask. :roll: That doesn't happen very frequently. :D

Sorry to have spoiled it for others, though. You can delete my answer above if you'd like.
