Cleistocactus means ‘closed cactus,’ named for the long, tubular flowers common in the genus. Cleistocactus winteri puts on quite the show when those blooms finally open. 🌵🧡 #BloomScrolling
Close-up of an orange flower on Cleistocactus winteri (formerly Hildewintera aureispina). The flower emerges from a stem covered in golden spines, a feature reflected in its former species name, aureispina, meaning “golden-spined.” Like many species in the genus, its long tubular flowers are adapted for hummingbird pollination.

Scarlet Cleistocactus or Firecracker Cactus - flowers usually face the direction of maximum sun exposure. Originally from S. America where they've developed a symbiotic relationship with hummingbirds. #plants #flowers #ecology #nature #photo
Cleistocactus baumannii is a desert plant native to South America, known for its long, slender, sprawling branches. The "Closed" Flower: The genus name Cleistocactus comes from the Greek word kleistos, meaning "closed," because the tubular flowers remain mostly shut, opening only at the very tip. Hummingbird Design: This structural shape is a textbook example of evolutionary adaptation. The bright red color is highly visible to birds but ignored by most insects. The narrow, deep tube holds a rich reservoir of nectar at its base, perfectly matching the long, slender beak and tongue of a hovering hummingbird, which acts as the plant's primary pollinator.

У меня есть две красивые и необычные штучки вам показать, вот, пожалуйста,
1. Это Cleistocactus winteri, Golden Rat-tail Cactus. Он похож и на Медузу Горгону, и вот тут посадили жвотне, чтобы он был девятихвостой лисицей, и вообще, чудо чудное, диво дивное.

SILVER TORCH CACTUS 🌵 Native to the high mountain regions of Bolivia and Argentina, it thrives in well-drained soils and prefers strong, full sunlight. When mature, it produces deep red or burgundy, tubular flowers that protrude horizontally from the stems, typically in spring and summer.

The cactus section of my rock garden is coming together. I've had to use restraint and not plant too much. They need room to grow and my early mistake was planting them too close to each other while still small. (Plant names in alt text). #Cactus #Succulents #GardeningFeed #RockGarden #Plantsky

Clockwise from upper left: Golden Torch (Echinopsis spachiana), Silver Torch (Cleistocactus strausii), Golden Barrel (Echinocactus grusonii), Ming Thing (Cereus Forbesii Monstrose), Echinopsosis species?, Golden Barrel.

A couple of my young silver torch cactus are growing their first flowers. These cactus have really unique blooms which are usually bright red and funnel shaped.

Three silver torch cactus (Cleistocactus strausii) in a rock garden surrounded by other succulents. They are whitish yellow and have dense but short white spines. The tallest one is growing red flower buds near the top. One young flower is pointing straight out from the side at a 90° angle.

A few of my favorite cactus photos of 2025. It was fun seeing them mature and show their potential. 🌸🌵

#cactus #succulents #flowers #gardening
This little gymnocalycium cactus continued its incredible flower production. By far the most blooms of any of our many cacti. This four year old echinopsis torch cactus really put on a show this year after three years in the rock garden. A Stenocactus multicostatus (brain cactus) with its first flowers this year. This "silver torch" cactus (Cleistocactus strausii) with its first pups this year was very exciting for me.
