Cactus
By Valerie Cathey
Echinopsis cactus are some of the most beautiful flowering plants in the world. They are native to South America, and over the past two hundred years have been collected by enthusiasts. Hybridizing has led to larger, more floriferous, and colorful echinopsis blooms in recent years. This echinopsis hybrid is by Bob Schick. 'Sorceress' has 4 to 5 inch diameter flowers that are a blend of magenta, orange, and blue tones. It repeat blooms from spring through early fall. The blooms are ephemeral, lasting only one to two days, but more flower buds form quickly for repeat displays.
