Flower of the Day – Odd Cactus

***

***

This plant is sometimes referred to as Frankenstein. It’s actually a Coral Cactus, aka Candelabra. It’s a grafted cactus and a succulent together. The shape of the upper part is fan-like and has a pink ruffle at the top and pink spikes. I saw this at a store one day. Oh, all parts are toxic, even if you just stick yourself with a spine.
