Wowie is recognized as a cultivar of Trichocereus bridgesii (syn. Echinopsis lageniformis). While specific morphological details such as precise rib count, areole spacing, and exact spine coloration are not extensively detailed in the immediate community discussion, it exhibits typical T. bridgesii characteristics. Cultivars of this species generally feature a light green to glaucous blue-green epidermis, prominent ribs, and honey-colored to brown spines of varying lengths.
Wowie originated as a Trichocereus bridgesii selection or cross from the prominent breeder and seed distributor known as Misplant. It has been widely distributed throughout the cactus community, frequently utilized in hybridization projects. A notable cross circulating in the community involves Wowie and the clone “Killer Green Cactus” (KGC), resulting in a large population of seedlings distributed among collectors. Its status as a Misplant offering is further corroborated by historical seed lists, which document crosses such as “1419 Bridgesii Wowie x Malo7”.
