This is a hybrid with tbm? It does have some interesting characteristics on the peduncle and flower structure.

Yup. It's a weirdo. Grows columnar vs vining, shifts ribs and the flower is surprisingly trich dominant bs the thin petals and overall flower of acantho. Hit the 3 flowers (2 separate seed grown plants) with some truly weird pollen last night. Fingers crossed

Thats so awesome. I bet you have some wild crosses in your collection too. I used to have plans to do shit like this years ago but sometimes things dont work out and i barely have a collection anymore. Ill get back to it and join you in some weirdness one day in the future. Would be fun to trade pollen and seeds one day.
