Cactus flower seen In Sparta IDd by Oron as Cereus hildmannianus
« on: November 20, 2011, 06:27:53 PM »
I saw this flower last week in Sparta.
It was a tall cactus which you quite often see around parks and gardens in Greece.
I have looked through both my cactus books and have had no luck
Any ideas?

Many thanks.
I bet it is in my books now that I know its name
