It's a Rebutia, possibly R. minuscula. That fantastic scarlet colouring is typical but there are other colours too.
They generally go berserk with flowering, and a good long rest over winter (about 4 months with no water at all) followed by lots of watering in the spring tends to kick that off nicely. Does well in bright light, but not direct sunlight - they tend to scorch otherwise.

Thank you! I have a growing cacti and succulent collection,some have no tags when I buy them.I've even got five different hardy types outside and several yucca varieties.The prickly pear is going to be smothered in blooms.I wish I had a better camera,I've got an awesome garden.I make sure that where my outdoor cacti are is well drained and full sun.

No problemo! Cacti were something of a special interest, years ago.
I think it's extremely annoying to find plants for sale with no identification. :x

I'm feeling envious that you're able to grow them outdoors at all! :lol:

I'll try to dig out and post a few images I have of my Lobivia hertrichiana flowering like crazy, and a flowering Lophophora williamsii (commonly known as peyote) I've owned for years.

They grow and grunt and start to smell.
And yes, it is a sphinx cat a few pages back.

The piglets are also sweet.Pigs are not so sweet when they get big.

Hmm. Sure I have some images rattling around here of my Lobivia buried under a mass of flowers, but I can't find them.
Meanwhile here's a close-up of a single flower, likewise for my Lophophora.

So you actually grow them? May I assume that several of your previous flower pictures were your own flowers, too?

These days I just continue growing a few cacti, including those two, as reminders of larger collections I had ages ago.
The flower pictures were probably mine if they were taken against a black background (I've posted some orchid pictures like that) - quite a productive experimentation phase, that one! :lol:
There have been others too, but if I don't say a picture is mine or make that clear in other ways, then it isn't.
