Identifying Blooming Cactus/Succulent: Likely Gymnocalycium mihanovichii

Probable ID

Gymnocalycium mihanovichii (Moon Cactus, Ruby Ball, Chin Cactus) — matches stacked bi-lobed red/pink blooms, thorny stems with leaf-like protrusions, heat/drought tolerance.

Verification

• Research all three common names.
• Note: species variation is high—yours may differ from photos.
• If no match: resend with photo for deeper search.

Care Note

If grafted (colorful top on green base), top lacks chlorophyll—never separate.

Good growing!
