Easter Lily Cactus


Echinopsis sp.
(ek-in-OP-sis)

This Cactus was tagged Echinopsis at Planting Fields. They forgot to include which of 128 species it is. Echinopsis is a genus of Cactus that is native to South America. They range in size from tree-like to small thimble sized types. It is also known as the ‘Sea Urchin’ or 'Easter Lily' Cactus.


This is a Japanese Iris that I shot on July 1st.
