trucha Posted June 3, 2008 My guess/hope is this is something someone will recognize but I don't. I will get a shot of the spination uploaded soon. THe color in reality is more vivid pink but the color of the photo is good other than that. It was around 20 years old from a cutting and maybe 4 feet tall and 5 or 6 inches in diameter It was from Carl Eltzner originally and is thought to have been wild collected in Argentina or Chile.

0 strangebrew Posted June 4, 2008 Awesome flowers! Not the campanulate shape you'd expect from such a plant. Must be a X wouldn't you say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 trucha Posted June 4, 2008 No idea. It is believed to be a wild collection but has always lacked a label. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 prier Posted July 6, 2008 I can't tell from the photos but is the flower hairy where it comes out from the plant. Beautiful flowers, I've seen red, orange and yellow Tricho flowers but never that pink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 trucha Posted August 13, 2008 The flower base and tube look a lot like candicans, Lots of pointed projections from the podaria, light green with a yellow cast with sparse hair arising from the axils of the scales and podaria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
