correct ID plse

Post by scousetigger »

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.

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

I'd say it was Echinopsis chamaecereus itself, rather than a hybrid.
