Ribs: 25 to 50 ribs deeply incised between the tubercles, which are approx. 2 cm long.
Spines: Radials are hard to tell from the central spines. Each areole bears approx 4 to 15 spines ranging from slender to thick, conical with a wider base, and irregular in length, the longest up to 8 cm or more. They are flexible and curved upward, and those on new parts of the plant have occasionally a hooked tip. Their colour varies from yellowish to brown when young, but later grey.
Flowers: Lateral or basal, 7-10 cm. long, funnel-shaped, and have a slender, curved tube covered with long white hairs. Perianth segments are short and white, but can be of almost any colour.
Fruits: Globular, dark green with flowers remnants.
Remarks: The fruit has a whitish mucilaginous pulp and is edible with a fresh and agreeable taste.
Remarks: The flowers, produced very freely, are usually pure white and have long tubes, though in cultivation pink flowers occur quite frequently, but probably the gene pool of plants in cultivation has been polluted.
All seeds are fresh of this season and obtained from my personal collection.
NOTE: cactus seeds could be sown in any season under control environment, however if you wanna go with nature then best time to sow the seeds is early spring/summer )
