Echinopsis Djinni (1235-47). Flower to 6 inches (15 cm) across. Petals broad, inners acute, strongly ruffled, outers and sepals projecting beyond inners, sharply acute to acuminate, at peak coloration inner petals mainly dark apricot and outers extensively marked in dark purplish-pink that contrasts strongly with apricot of inner petals, at somewhat less than peak coloration inner petals light orangish with contrasting pink outer petals, the flower still beautiful—and Aiko's favorite! Filaments dark terra cotta, sometimes with distinct orangish tint. Stem apparently globular, to nearly 4-1/2 inches (10-1/2 cm) in diameter; central spines to 5/8 inches (15 mm) long. "Why the name Djinni?" you may ask. Djin (plural for Djinni) are magical beings who can change their form. For our purpose, though, Im supposing they can also change their color. And on this shaky theory, Ive named this hybrid after the Djin. But not to worry about the evilness attributed to these beings. Your goodness will counteract that... Heh, heh. ISI 2000-9; HBG 85183. Rooted offsets $7.50.
