Lobivia einsteinii MN171a

This nice form of Lobivia einsteinii was discovered, and sold  (as Rebutia) by Mats Winberg of succseed.com
Yellow flowered forms of this species were in the original discovery, also as of recently several red or orange flowered forms were entered into cultivation. This gentle salmon-flowered plant is the only form with this flower color I know as of today.
