Chamaecereus silvestrii

Known commonly as the peanut cactus because of it's many small growths, presumably looking a bit like peanuts, Chamaecereus silvestrii flowers in late Spring. The plant typically grows many small growths from the base, which easily fall of and grow. Dad had this plant many years ago and I was lucky enough to be able to get some growths from my friend Guy. The flowers are quite large in comparison to the plant size and are very eyecatching in their bold red.
