**Chamaecereus Silvestrii** was in bloom a good few weeks back. For the first time. And it got me so hooked on the cacti flowers that I have to catch them all now :D

The flower is ~~monochrome~~ bright orange/red with delicate like silk petals. A total posit to the plant itself. I guess this is what really attracts all the cactus growers. The more spiky, mean and nasty, the prettier and gentler the flower is.
