ruthbancroftgarden:Weberbauerocereus winterianusWe were not sure how well this columnar cactus from Peru would do in our northern California garden, but it has adjusted very well to our winter rainfall pattern and occasional dips below freezing. Its winter flowers are a joy, but we must appreciate them in the morning, since they do not stay open all that long in the daytime. This is common with bat-pollinated cacti, and we assume that bats are the natural pollinators in habitat. Weberbauerocereus has long been considered close to Haageocereus, but DNA research seems to indicate it is actually closer to Cleistocactus.-Brian -- source link
