What kind of cactus?
Many years ago, I remember seeing cacti in the high plains of Colorado
(or maybe it was northern New Mexico or the Texas panhandle) that had big purpley-red flowers -- I think they were double or semidouble flowers. Some of them that otherwise looked identical had much less showy yellow flowers. The cactus were upright, many-branched, and had long thorns. I believe they were a variety of cholla. On recent visits to that area, I can only find a few yellow-flowered cacti, execpt for 1 red plant that I saw in a bed in a national park (and didn't think it would be a good idea to pinch off a piece.) Is this enough information to identify which species it was? Thanks, Bob |
