Hey guys,
So my mother is reducing amount of cacti she has, and i managed to persuade her to send this beauty to me. This one is in a family for about 20 years, so I would assume its about 30 years old ( we bought it when it was pretty big already) i was always convinced that it was some kind of ferocactus, judging by the blossoms its definitely echinopsis, I sent the photo to my friend and he thinks it's either echinopsis or trichocereus.
I'm just wondering if any of you kind people could put a name on this one
Echinopsis id

Re: Echinopsis id
I'm fairly confident that it's rhodotricha. The inside of the flower is quite typical of rhodotricha and leucantha, but the short spines point to rhodotricha.
