Very nice shade of pink Bill, looks like your annual Echinopsis show is just beginning. I look forward to seeing more.

I love those flowers, this one really justifies the inclusion of trichocereus into echinopsis. creepy...

Bill,
Sounds like this is an unknown hybrid. Where did you come by that one? Just one of those add-ins that result from plant trades?

I'm 90% sure this one probably came from Lowes.
