Echinopsis subdenudata ‘Fuzzy Navel’ M. Fryer

The cultivar name was coined by Mark Fryer, formerly of C & J Cactus Nursery and even farther back, former president of the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society. The plant has very short spines, fuzzy areoles, and large, scented, white funnelform flowers that are quite impressive.

I understand this is being reintroduced by ISI this year. It is very nice. I understand this selection was named by my old friend Mark Fryer in San Diego. Mark used to be a member of the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society.

One thing about this plant is that it's dependable. Without doing anything special it pops up these flowers with regularity.
