A genus of Cacti grown for their large, spectacular, brightly coloured flowers. Stems vary from globular to cylindrical; columnar or clump forming; erect or sprawling.
Description:
Not without justification has this very fine Cactus (or more accurately, group of Cacti) earned its English name - the very attractive, star-like spines that entirely cover the cylindrical body come in many different shades from white through pink to red, the colours changing in bands giving the plant a brilliant and striking appearance. Not only that, but the flowers, at up to 3 ins. and more across in various shades of pink and purple, are pretty spectacular as well. The species is very variable and we offer a mixture of varieties.
