correct ID plse
I have quite a number of these which I was given as offsets. They have all rooted and some, which were only about half an inch long, have had flowers larger than themselves! Usually red, almost like fire. I think they are Echinocereus hybrids, but so many look alike. This one is about an inch and a half long and all have produced lots of young ones down their length.

Re: correct ID plse
My guess is that these are actually Echinopsis hybrids, with one of the parents perhaps being Echinosis chamaecereus.

Re: correct ID plse
I'd say it was Echinopsis chamaecereus itself, rather than a hybrid.
