Echinocereus pentalophus

Sometimes the cactus flower is so big you can’t see the cactus at all. Here you can see a few spines poking up behind the flower. But beware when buying cacti in bloom – the flower only lasts a few days and then your left with a cactus that you really have no idea what it’s going to look like since you didn’t see the cactus at all when you bought the giant cactus flower.

But don’t worry about this one. It’s a pretty cactus too.
