ID a Cactus


Hello! I was wondering if you might be able to identify the attached for me? Someone thought it might be an Echinopsis – but the flowers look wrong for that to me. If you have any suggestions, I’d appreciate it very much!

Close-up of a vibrant red-orange Fouquieria splendens flower with multiple tubular petals and long yellow-tipped stamens extending upward. Some buds are still closed, surrounded by blurred green foliage in the background.

Again, I really enjoy your blog, and read it all the time.

Thanks very much!

Amy

Amy,

Very nice cactus! And not an Echinopsis at all. It’s a Parodia magnifica. Very distinctive.

Peter
