Re: E ackermanii?
Maybe a selection or cultivar thereof, but the flowers do not appear "as nature intended" - too many petals.
That said ackermanii has been adopted as a name for a range of particular hybrids.

Re: E ackermanii?
Maybe something to do with the photograph rather than the plant, but unfortunately even the colour does not grab me.
A small part of a small minority interest in the UK - epiphytic/rainforest cacti, apart from their use as houseplants, so tracing anything of genuinely known ancestry would never be easy. Even worse now, after Brexit and all the phyto changes.
Add the fact that cultivars/hybrids are getting labelled E. ackermanii rather than E. x ackermanii.......

Re: E ackermanii?
Original E (N) ackermannii has smaller bright red flowers, wider opened.
Though, this one is amazing.

Re: E ackermanii?
Thanks Ralph. Never trust labels…
Obviously the way to get it to flower is not to water it and place it out of sight!

This is one of two I own the other being E crenatum ‘chichicastenango’ which came from Bill Weightmans auction some years back and is according to JP a collection from the type locality. It has awesome highly scented flowers.
