Thank you Linda. I will write you exactly what they wrote to me when I ask them to identify this cacti...he said this is what it is:

Then he said "Here are the parents: One is common in cultivation, one is almost nonexistent. While the true D.ackermanii is even more rare!"

I have this very old plant I inherited from a woman who just died last Fall. it has bloomed but it was so big they had to cut it back to get it into the car to bring it here.

Here is a quick shot of it. I am wondering how much to water it, when to feed it, when to expect blooms, when to take cuttings.
Not much I know about them. Especially since I do not know if it is an Epi or whatever. I thought it was a red Easter Cactus. LOL
