Echinopsis hybrid

Very particular flower with white petals that fade into purple at the tip. The tip of the petal is more o less elegantly curled in a unique and characteristic way.

The flowers are different every time the plant blooms but always beautiful, ranging in color from red to purple with a yellow or cream border.

The parents of this beautiful hybrid are Lobivia hybrid DESSAU and Trichocereus purpureopilosus. The breeder is Hartmut Kellner. It has a gorgeous contrast of purple and white, similar to its ancestor DESSAU. It is a sister plant of the well known ALTENA

The woolly areoles on the ribs have a felty line between them so it seems like the areoles are connected with each other.
