We have the pant on our patio in Mexico. Most impresive flower. The colour on our landlord's plant is more beige yours is almost red. Looks like few more are coming.

I really like this cactus!

I may be planting a lot more cacti in the future. With the extreme drought and HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE heat we've had (and still having) lately, virtually all my plants are stressed and looking horrible!

Thanks all! I'm over the moon with it.

Klahanie - the colour of the flowers appears to be quite variable from plant to plant.

Delonix - My plants are drowning!!!

Meanie:

Please, please, please send some of your rain! We are going to be on extreme water-rationing come November. We need to do a continuous rain dance.

The weather has been so very dry and extremely hot this year. Most of California's reservoirs are virtually empty. We've been in a state of emergency due to the lack of water since spring.

Serious then..................not good.

ps - the spare room where this is seriously stinks!

Yes, it's very, very serious! Remember: California supplies most of the U.S. with their winter crops (along with Florida)...and with no water, no crops or very limited winter crops. This affects our very fragile, recovering economy.

I like the colour of your gigantea I thought mine was unusual until I clicked here.
