As you can see from the label I had an Echinocereus fitchii for a number of years. Despite growing and flowering well it was never stable in it's pot and finally rotted a few summers ago. When I was throwing it out I found this seedling growing at the base of the plant, so I kept the seedling and label.
So it obviously looks like an Echinopsis, but as I don't have a yellow flowering Echinopsis I have no idea where it came from or how it could possibly have ended up in the Echinocereus pot.
So it could be hybrid or anything really. Any ideas?

Re: Echinopsis ID
A second one here that's probably not a plain silvestrii.
Referring to my other thread:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=170091
This plant is also not looking very happy compared to how it looked when I got it first.
Old photo. And now.

Re: Echinopsis ID
The first one looks like one of the fancy, carefully selected chamaelobivias such as are offered by Southfields, so I suspect this was a hidden stem fragment rather than a seedling. The second one might be 'Paulina', which is one of the most widespread in cultivation, and which has - to me anyway - fairly distinctive short spination.

Re: Echinopsis ID
Thanks, It was definitely a seedling, it was very small. I was looking through all those this morning and the best I could come up with was 'Lincoln Beam'. But the ends of the petals aren't dark enough. I don't know if that would be a consistent feature with an Chamaelobivia hybrid.
Do you know where that originated?
I think you're spot on with the second one. Fair play!Do you know where that originated?

Super colour
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.

Re: Echinopsis ID
Looks like you have your own Chamaelobivia hybrid and a nice one too!
