Echinopsis ancistrophora ssp. arachnacantha var. torrecillasensis

     From the state of Comarapa, Bolivia, Echinopsis ancistrophora ssp. arachnacantha var. torrecillasensis is small, pretty, clumping cactus previously classified as Lobivia ancistrophora var. torrecillasensis. All Lobivias are now lumped under Echinopsis. Var. torrecillasensis varies from the type only in the color of the flowers. They are bright red, whereas Echinopsis ancistrophora ssp. arachnacantha has yellow flowers.
     I got this nice little clump from Miles Anderson at a TCSS sale. Now wthat it's flowered I'll take the offsets and root them seperately.
Flower in April
