The 25 year old plant in this picture has the wrong flower colour for RH1386. However the plant came from RH (Ralf Hillmann) himself. The spination with the (occasional) black tips is correct as is the habit. The other RH1386 I have in the collection has the more typical fiery red colour, and the flowers do fade to a cooler red as they age. This plant is an aberrant form.

RH1386 was found by Ralf Hillmann at Iruya, Salta, in Argentina, at an altitude of 3950m.
