What cactus is this?

Post by GreenMan »

Greetings everyone,

I have had this little beauty for almost three years now. This is the first time it has blossomed. The first flower, that is visible in this picture, lasted one night only. I tried to identify this cactus by going through the catalogue, but I was not able to find a match. Would someone be willing to identify it for me?

Or Echinopsis eyriesii - though many think they're one species.
