An Unusual Hybrid

Post by ralphrmartin »

I acquired this as Pygmaeocereus bylesianus x Lobivia silvestrii, and the flowers are plausibly consistent with that.

Beautiful
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

There's Pygmaeocereus in the parentage of this hybrid, a lone plant from a packet of ADBLPS seed labelled (Haageocereus decumbens x P. bylesianus) x P. bylesianus. It thought about flowering last year but didn't in the end.
