Sea Urchin Cactus: Echinopsis eyriesii
This cactus is initially globular, but later elongated and branching. It has 15 prominent ribs clothed in short, dark-brown spines. It is mainly grown for its scented pure-white flowers, 6in (15cm) long, which open during summer evenings. Of many hybrids, perhaps the most popular is Echinopsis ‘Green Gold,’ with golden-yellow flowers.
