Your Cacti Collection is wonderful Uma :) I love all the Pretty Flower Pics uv taken thanx 4 sharing them :)

stunning Uma

Thanks, Morgana, very much!
My parents have another Echinopsis, I bought 15 years ago. There were 5 flowers 15,7 inches long snow-white colour! And they had a beautiful scent! All the neighbours came to see it. It was stunning!
Thanks, Jacque for your loving my cacti collection! Hope, you'll have a bigger one, and we'll be able to see yours! :)

Deida, thank you very much!

I can see why I would too even if I lived on another street lol.

Lol :)

:o)))

Crikey!!!
I used think they were just prickly things.
Is it very big?

Hi, Meanie! Yes, this one is really prickly! :) The plant itself is about 6 inches, and the flower is about 8 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. This kind of cacti nearly always has very big flowers. And the scent...is beautiful!

You have such a wonderful collection. Do you find the Echinopsis flowers very short-lived? and do they ever get pollinated where you are?

Thanks, Wagger! Yes, you are right, the flower of my Echinopsis has lived for less than twenty-four hours! They have got never pollinated, because I have only one flowering plant of this kind. Self-pollination and my compulsory pollination were unsuccessful...:(

great to meet another cacti lover.....nice flower

Thanks, Sandra! I love cacti, but my collection is small, your one is so huge! Great! You do love cacti! :)

most of mine have been given to me by friends and friends o friends looking for a good home for overgrown plants.

Oh, grown-up children - big problems! lol....You have a wonderful home for all of cacti! :)

thank you Uma..;-))
