Yesterday, on the terrace of my neighbor, his Echinopsis eyriesii was putting on quite a show…
Listening to the Putamayo World Music Hour’s tribute to mothers and sending mothers everywhere wishes for peace, justice, love, and much joy.
And, the librarian in me can’t resist adding a couple of Mother’s Day reference sources:
- Zinn Education Project, the origins of Mother’s Day
- BajaInsider, Mother’s Day in Mexico
¡Feliz día de la madre!

Wow! My cactus flowers of the same variety bloomed and wilted this week, also! What a show it was! Do you know the common name of this cactus??
Thanks, as usual….

Mary, According to the Wikipedia entry, “sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus.”
Really nice specimen!
I’m always looking for new sources. Any idea where your neighbor acquired the plant?
Hmmm… I don’t know. Next time I see him, I’ll ask and post.
Never knew cactus flowers were so pretty 🙂
