This uncommon (but very nice) cactus, has tiny finger shaped stems and will slowly form small clusters with dense golden spines. Spines are gold-amber coloured. Flowers tiny pale yellow on the apex.
This is one of the most famous and spectacular hybrid with beautiful blooms! Flowers are multi-coloured with delicate shadings of apricot, orange-red and yellow.
This is the tiniest Echinocereus species (only 1 to 2 cm wide!) plants are extremely diminutive and mostly subterranean (geophytes), usually do not offset. Blooms very early in March. The flowers are greenish and diffuse a pleasant lemony scent.
It has flexible interlacing spines up to 1-2 cm long, that are pectinate, flexible, creamy white or whitish-yellow with dark tips, recurved backwards, sitting on the plant like spiders.
This is a petite cactus, which branches and becomes somewhat elongated when old. The short spines are appressed to its body, reddish-gray or brownish in the crown of adult plants. Small creamy pink flowers sprout from the wool at the apex.
Cephalophorus senilis is a columnar and erect cactus 6 to 10, or even 15, meters high. The most striking feature is the shaggy coat of long, white silky hairs suggestive of unkempt hair on an old man and hence the name old man cactus, and similar names.
