# Hi guys n gals. Planta saying Texas Nipple, but I’m not so sure. Here…

_Posted by Alfie’s garden on 2026-08-02_

Hi guys n gals. Planta saying Texas Nipple, but I’m not so sure. Here it is next to what I thought was a TN or a Thimble cactus which has taller base, not built like a beach ball or barrel. I also thought the thimble has white/cream flowers and TN red is that correct? Any ideas please?  
Thank you.

It does indeed, do you know its common name and has yours flowered?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-08-02

echinopsis are called easter lily cactuses most commonly, yours looks like the hybrid "schick". apparently a rare cultivar, couldn't find a good info source but from what i see their blooms can be red or pale pinks

Yes this seems right, I don’t actually have one this is just what I found online lol

Thank you!

Thanks for the info @plantgeek. Which one are you referring to?

The planta app is really bad at identifying cacti. I have submitted multiple to be added to their database.

#### Alfie’s garden replied on 2026-08-04

Yes, but I don’t blame it lol. There are so many different types and hybrids etc, it generally gets it right or close most of the time. It’s good that it gives you some options.
