Echinopsis hybrid Candlelight --- an oxymoron?

Post by el48tel »

This hybrid is diurnal rather than nocturnal. Is the name appropriate?
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.

The colour of the flower appears to be a warm yellow, such as the light cast by a candle. There are worse descriptors for yellow.

The opening flower resembles a candle flame was what I read ... but still in daylight
