Description One of several unusual colors of staghorn cholla flowers that I have naturally occurring on my property. Almost all staghorn and buckhorn cholla flowers have a distinct gold or bronze cast to them. I happen to have several of each species that don't.

Thank you, El Gato, my friend. I'm not too sure how well a cholla cactus would do in a tropical garden, probably too much water for it. It is a stunning color for a staghorn cholla flower, for sure.

I'm not really a flower person, but the colors are really beautiful. It looks as if a tiny pink hand with yellow fingers reached out from the middle of the flower.

Thank you, Maria! Or arms together with both hands cupped with yellow fingers. Yes, I really like my 'off" colored cacti flowers. Some are just exquisite and unusual colors.
