"This plant is rather unusual in having flowers that are open for only about 3 hours a day. One would expect that it has a specific relationship with a pollinator active in the late afternoon. But no special insects have been seen visiting it, just hummingbirds, honeybees, and one of the cactus bees. It does not seem to be attractive to moths despite its pale yellow color. Pencil cholla (O. arbuscula) looks similar, but is a larger plant with a distinct trunk and stems 1/4 inch in diameter." www.desertmuseum.org/books/nhsd_cactus2.html
