Synonym: Aporocactus flagelliformis
Today, I found an article that mentioned that Echinopsis cv. Gräser’s Schönste is an intergeneric hybrid between Disocactus flagelliformis and Echinopsis candicans (Trichocereus candicans). As I have some Trichocereus pachanoi pollen in the freezer, I thought I’d have a go at pollinating this beautiful cactus. I’m not sure how likely a successful pollination will be, but there are plenty of flowers to come and I have sufficient pollen to try multiple times. If any fruit forms, indicating success, I’ll post updates.
