Very hairy columnar

Post by BarryRice »

Hey Folks,

I'm repotting some of our plants at our conservatory, and I encountered this really striking columnar. Any guesses as to what it might be?

I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

Agree with Phil. Used to be fairly common in the UK when Ritter first made seed available in the 1960's, but not seen so often now.

They don't always look quite so nice in habitat.
