Flowering Cacti

[Cym Lover]

Those are amazing!
What's the name of the cacti with the salmon coloured flower on the left end of the bottom row? I love it!

Cym Lover, the plant is in the Echinopsis family. They are commonly called Easter Lily Cactus because of the very long trumpet shaped flower. This particular plant is called Echinopsis Henrietta. It is a hybrid seedling that is blooming for the first time and it fills a 2 1/2 in. pot but the flower is 4 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches tall.

Wow, that is incredible Jerry. Thanks so much for letting me know, I'll be on the lookout for one.

Jerry, those are beautiful blooms! I have a few, one looks like the third picture in the top row, but I don't know the name of it. Hubby brought it home from Arizona, it was one of those in a gift shop in the airport so it and two others were cemented together, or where before the luggage ride...lol. Sadly the one that looked like yours in the third picture started rotting from the bottom up and just noticed it this last weekend so I tossed it. I'm not sure why it rotted, I only watered once a month and have had it since the end of January. I hope the other two, not sure what they are either, will make it!

nice flower - i didn't know they can be that beautiful apart from on tv!

i used to collect cacti when i was in uni. we have this convocation-carnival about 2-3 times a year. many stalls sell plants. i buy cacti becoz they are cheap - you can get 3-4 for RM10 (less than USD3) and also easy to care. now all are with my father! and god, they are big cacti now!
