Love it.

Yet another cactus whose name I don't know.
Irresistable.
Love this flower.

Any idea what cactus this bee is working
its magic on?
It is a glorious specimum
with flowers more beautiful than the San Pedro
and a more striking form which looks
like it will support 6-8mts.
The flowers stay open all morning and the fringing
pink is cool.
Prolific for a couple months.

I'm not sure of the name of this amazing columnar flowering cacti,
but I love it.
The flowers are incredible.
If you know the name please leave a comment.
Jeff gave me the orginal column for my 30th and
Jeremy gave me another a year later
after his son had tried to hack it to bits.
Growing cacti is easy and
they are the best drought tolerant plants around.

Daughter's View

A wall of San Pedros, Trichocereus panchanoi, as seen by my daughter. These San Pedro are hardy plants and as you can see the three large plants in the photo have flourished outside in Melbourne.If you’re interested in getting into these ancient Peruvian sacred cacti, head to www.doyadigit.com for more tips. The flowers of this species are absolutely spectacular, the next picture should be a close up of the flowers in this.

The San Pedro Cactus (Trichocereus panchanoi) is the most common and well known of the Trichocereus and can be found naturally in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador. The San Pedro Cactus is a very hardy and easy to grow branching columnar cactus with 4 – 8 ribs. They often grow over a foot per year and can reach heights of over 5 metres when planted in the ground.
Trichocereus Pachanoi has been known for over 3000 years and there is evidence to suggest cultivation of Trichocerus Pachanoi in Peru from 2200 B. C.
