Echinopsis oxygona?
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
Re: What do I have here
Definitely Echinopsis, but I thought E. oxygona was very pale pink. There are so many white ones that it is hard to keep them identified, but I think you could start with E. subdenudata and branch out from there...

Re: What do I have here
I'd go with oxygona, too.
Re: What do I have here
I don't think it's E.subdenudata. At least it's wery diferent from mine. What about Echinopsis mamillosa?
Re: What do I have here
morning thanks for the input what about E. Minuana? T he flowers on all three were bright white there was no pink at all ....

Re: What do I have here
Echinopsis are so hybridized you can't realy tell the true origin. Probably another hybrid.
Re: What do I have here
Looks like Echinopsis eyriesii - which has been lumped into E. oxygona now. With the latest lumping, E. oxygona can now have flowers from white to dark pink and everything in-between.

Re: What do I have here
Daiv that's why to be safe I call it Echinopsis SSP. I don't know what they all are. There are so many different colors and names and hybrids...
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Re: What do I have here
I agree with Daiv. It's an Echinopsis eyriesii.
I'd rather call it with the name above, since lumping it into oxygona looks and feels wrong for my taste!
No more lumping, no more lumping

Cacti:plants with shape, strength and character.

But what would the species be then?Peterthecactusguy wrote:Nope, I mean Echinopsis subspecies which is SSP (S means sub) (SP)ecies.
There is no point in calling it "unknown subspecies" as long as you don't know what the higher taxonomical level (species) is.Re: What do I have here
And why not just call it Echinopsis (and nothing else)? If you don't know the spicies Echinopsis is good just aswell. Is it?luddhus wrote:But what would the species be then?Peterthecactusguy wrote:Nope, I mean Echinopsis subspecies which is SSP (S means sub) (SP)ecies.
