Echinopsis calochloraIs native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, & Paraguay.
Her colorful blossoms can range from
Pink,
to Deep Red,
to Magenta,
to Orange, and
to White.
She is an original South American "party girl"...
dressing up in her festive "bling-blossoms"
for a midnight rendezvous or two
with a few batty friends.
But...
Just like a "Cinderella",
her fragile and delicate beauty quickly
fades from view...
leaving only the haunting memories of her sweet fragrance
in the hearts of admirers
until the next Spring.
Ahhhh..
The beauty of Mother Nature...
She surely has it goin' on! ;)

Happy Cactus Monday cactuteer.
Ah, Queen Cactus strikes again! Seeing as how I probably won't be near any real cacti anytime soon, I should probably just enlarge these and surround myself with them. Cheaper than airfare or car gas money!
