I haven't bought any cactus in a couple of years. However, earlier this spring one caught my eye at Lowes. It is simply labeled "Echinopsis" species. It sure turned out swell upon blooming!

Magnificent indeed. Is it your only pink flowering echinopsis?

Nice find Bill! Definitely not your run of the mill Lowe's plant.

Thanks for sharing.
