Here in Cuba, many collectors already have Steno, so several species can be found in the region. But Gymnocalycium ("gymno") is harder to find and grow here—the one you have in your garden is a beautiful variegated one.

Here in Cuba, those aren’t available anywhere; the ones we have are either grafted or just the common types.
