Cactus Flower ID2 - SJ:16Aug09

[Sushmita Jha]

Dear all,

 

here is another cactus flower which bloomed only once in August in my terrace garden. Would love to know the name of this beautiful flower.

 

Thank you again.

It is likely a Mammalaria sp. Several Mammalaria have pink flower,
only Cactus specialists can identify the species.
