They're Lophophora williamsii plants. Sure. But they were pretty expensive, as I see... Their "normal" price should be the half or less of that 11 euros.

Well here in the U.S.A. they go for like $30 a button! So... I think that's a pretty good price!

Thanks for the identification. And yes, I found a dutch supplier who sells them for about 40,- EURO per TEN pieces and they are also of flowering age.

I tought L. williamsii is illegal in the USA... except for the members of the NAC... Well, in Middle East Europe, this price counts as expensive. I can buy 4-5 cm diameter flovering plants for 2-4 euros here.

Hello cacti lovers. One of the cacti I bought a few months back has started flowering. Maybe we now finalize the identification of this cactus for good? p.s. It is really beautiful to see it flower. As soon as the sun start shining the flower opens and when it gets colder it closes again, you can actually see it opening and closing very slowly.

How beautiful! I am inclined to say this cactus is Lophophora williamsii or Lophophora williamsii var. decipens or Lophophora decipiens ,but there is no way to really know for sure without DNA testing. It's differently in the williamsii aggerate tho! Isn't it wonderful growing cacti?

The rib pattern is what had me confused.... they are not the typical williamsii rib pattern, that why I said it may be Lophophora williamsii var. decipens or Lophophora decipiens. However I can say for certain that it is in the williamsii aggerate.
