Echinopsis spachiana, 60 blooms before wind damage.

Over half the plant was lost to wind damage.  Three or four years she'll bloom like this again.

Hard to take a picture of such a small thing......
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
