Cactus Question
From the Cactus Jungle Facebook Page comes a Cactus Question:
Question: Echinopsis hybrid. My friend brought him to Florida. Any idea what the brown growth is all about?

Barbra Ann,
Nice flowers! The cactus is an Echinopsis eyriesii – Easter Lily Cactus. It’s called “barking” and the cactus is forming bark at the base of the plant with age.
