Ferocactus pottsi: Rarely Seen Flowering Cactus

  • Thread starter Thread starter Pauroba
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the flowering characteristics of Ferocactus pottsii, with participants questioning whether the observed cactus is indeed this species due to its longish stem, which is not commonly depicted in online images. Additional resources provide detailed information about Ferocactus pottsii, confirming its typical features. Observations of blooming flowers reveal delicate blooms that appear after the first flower wilts, suggesting a potential misidentification, as some participants speculate the cactus may actually be Echinopsis subdenudata. A video showcasing the overnight blooming of Echinopsis subdenudata is referenced, further illustrating the differences between the two species.
