Echinopsis Hybrid 'Pooka' — Rare Mustard-Yellow & Pink Blooming Cactus Plant

Named after the mischievous spirit of Irish folklore, 'Pooka' is a delightfully unique Echinopsis hybrid from hybridizer Bob Schick. Its 5" blooms are unlike anything else in the collection — a warm mustard-yellow to bronze-yellow with pink midstripes on the inner petals, yellow outer petals with a light magenta midstripe, and a pale yellow throat with yellow filaments. Playful, warm, and utterly charming.

This well-rooted plant is 3–4 inches tall and one of the most generous offset producers around — a heavy pupper that can grow into a large, impressive clump in just a few seasons with proper care.
