Such a large flower on a small plant. You can see what the plant's priority is - reproduction. :) With cacti, if flowers are your priority as a grower, you can't beat Echinopsis. Is this cultivar anything like Echinopsis 'Fuzzy Navel"? (such a strange name). Right now I'm not growing any Echinopsis, so thanks for sharing yours with us.
Unfortunately the flower only lasts one day. I do not grow many Echinopsis and this may have come from the branch meeting raffle. It is from subdenudata [ now ancistrophora according to The New Cactus Lexicon ].
