Echinopsis (Trichocereus) 'Flying Saucer'

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks,
This is one of numerous Trichocerus in our garden. Too bad they stay in bloom such a short time, usually 4 or 5 hours, but better than our Night blooming cereus which start shriveling at the first rays of sunshine (Will post one tomorrow). The desert is a wondrous place . . . Gus :D

BTW: Had a terrific Monsoon last night that was our 4th of July display of lightening and thunder.for 2 hours. Knocked our electricity for 7 hours.
