Hey all—I’m trying to identify this cactus I recently purchased. The seller knows it’s a cactus species from Argentina and that it’s probably in the genus Tephrocactus. I’m leaning towards the species T. pentlandii and wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas.

I just got this one yesterday. Looks a little bit like this. Not sure if that helps! 😂

That is a cool looking plant, although it’s not in the genus I know my cactus is in. I do know for a fact that it is in the genus Tephrocactus and that this species is native to Argentina. I’m attempting to figure out the species. I definitely have to look up the desert rose, because that looks like a great plant addition!
