Bertha bloom

Gorgeous bloom that flowers for just a day or two before giving up the fight. If pollenated large apple size fruit will follow that is eatable. I have personally made a custard desert out of the fruit many times.

Hi Stephen, the scientific name is highly questionable (see the second link below). According to Catalogue of life 2019 now it is Echinopsis huascha.
So I don't know which name to use to create the record. There is no Wiki page for neither of those names.http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/32760f55b42512baa870e65e0b40f253/synonym/4415e1bd79ad4eddb56f199fb1d266e2

  Jivko, these links might be helpful:
  https://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?uname2=Pseudolobivia%20lobivioides
  https://trichocereus.net/trichocereus-huascha-echinopsis-huascha/
  https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Soehrensia_huascha
  
  That last link at Wikimedia gives a huge number of synonyms and says the correct species name is Soehrensia huascha. Posted 6 years ago
