An impressive flowering of the Echinopsis (Trichocereus) x 'Cherry Red', hybridized by Dr. Mark Dimmitt of
Tucson,
Arizona.
In Las Cruces, New Mexico, our cactus flowered at intervals from June
to September.
*The Echinopsis (Trichocereus) x 'Cherry Red', was hybridized by Dr. Mark Dimmitt of
Tucson,
Arizona. This and other striking shades of red, we understand, are a specialty of Dr. Dimmitt. The flowers open nocturnally, or in the early morning, and persist for two days. |
