| I got this guy a few weeks ago and he was a little worse for wear.  After a fair amount of coddling he decided to put his flowers out. Now I haven't had this colour on an echinopsis before   I was really excited when he opened them up, awesome colour. |

| That looks like a really nice clump of Echinopsis ancistrophora ssp. arachnacantha var. torrecillasensis. In fact, I don't believe that I've ever seen a clump that big....  |

| What a name!  Yes he is a pretty big clump, and seems to have recovered well in a short time. |
