This page is included in this website, because research of the many various hybrids of echinopsis and lobivia plus other genera that will cross-breed with these floriforous cactus is incomplete, lost and un-organized for the most part. In my own greenhouse, faded and broken labels also add to the confusion..

This site is an attempt to bring together information from various sources about these species and their hybrids. So, at times, I will post photographs here in the "help" section, in hope that other cactus growers might see and recognize yet unidentified species and hybrids.

If anyone recognizes the cactus shown here, please Email me at [email protected]. This lobivia was purchased at an Oakland, CA Cactus and Succulent Show in April, 1998 and carried a "Robert's C&S" tag.
