Cacti are thorny plants that grow in dry and arid areas because they have the capacity to store water inside. They are very resistant and love sunlight.

In the many visits I made to the cactus area in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro I was surprised by the delicacy of the flowers in contrast to the plant.

Here I present two species with flowers of very delicate texture and beautiful colors.

 

Echinocereus cinerascens with flower in lovely mauve color, and 12cm in diameter.
