dark red cactus flower confirmed by Oron as Cylindropuntia imbricata
« on: May 31, 2012, 07:47:21 PM »
Another cactus flower to identify.
After much book and Internet searching I decided it must be Cylindropuntia imbricata.
See how the Echinopsis oxygona next to it is sprouting large numbers of flowers.
Any ideas about the dark red flowering cactus?
