Különleges kaktuszok

Many collectors try to grow rare and interesting taxa, but also some collectors have very interesting forms of well-known taxa in their collections which also give pleasure for the owner. Four of these extraordinary forms are described here. The first is better a phenomenon than a form: the beautiful wilting of the flowers of an Echinopsis leucantha specimen. The tips of the inner sepals rolling in like the Turkish sandals. The second specimen is a Ferocactus hamatacanthus specimen developing irregular lateral flower. The third specimen is an extraordinary hairy Echinocactus grusoni of which hairs cover almost one-fourth of the total body surface. The fourth specimen is an Echinopsis subdenudata which has split because of an overwatering crack accident.
