Silla de la suegra. That's
the Spanish name for this spectacular flowering cactus. The English translation is
"mother-in-law's chair," not a very flattering name for such a beauty. Each
flower is open for one day, and each cactus blooms only once a year. This variety usually
grows 4 to 8 inches tall.
Thanks to a friendly
cactus lover from Belgium, we've learned that this is one of the
Echinocereus family of cactus.
