Just a Little Echinopsis...


Easter Cactus, Echinopsis oxygona? I found this lovely little plant looking all alone at Armstrong Nursery and, behold, it had two buds on it as well (not to mention about 12 pups!!)! Alas, the willpower caved in and, with a little help from the credit card, this Echinopsis is now part of the Wayward cacti collection. There was a little tag on it that said Easter Cacti (although it is blooming completely out of season). Still, these are always quite a statement, no matter what time of year they bloom!

Easter Cactus


Easter Cactus, Echinopsis oxygona? The label just said Easter Cactus, Echinopsis species. oxygona is a guess but I'm open to suggestions. Whatever species (or hybrid) it is, it sure is a beauty. Two humongous, gorgeous, flamingo pink blossoms greeted me this morning. It's motivation for a whole new day. There are a bunch of buds still on the way as well. Wowzer...
