Re: Cactushobbyman Cacti
Went into the greenhouse this morning and smelled something very nice. I know this smell; the same as when my Echinopsis spachiana is in bloom. My Echinopsis oxygona hybrid is in bloom. Also know as an Easter Lily Cactus. Nice timing.

Oreocereus celsianus
This one was the one that fell over in a hail storm and is still braced.

Those oxygona flowers are really something! Wish the smell could come through my laptop!
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!

The fourth one out of four. It's been 3 or 4 years since the last one bloomed.
First time all columns are in bloom.
