These columnar cacti, Cleistocactus hyalacanthus, branches at the base to form a cluster of stems densely clad in yellowish-white needle-like spines. This species is from Bolivia to North West Argentina and grows primarily in the desert or dry shrubland.

Cleistocactus colademononis
This wonderful cactus with its pendulous fuzzy stems is sometimes listed as a subspecies of Cleistocactus winteri, but its flowers are so different that I prefer to consider it as its own species. Whatever name is put to it, it is a striking plant with stunning flowers. On our plants, the bristly spines are white, but there are also plants with spines that are more yellowish or brownish. The name "colademononis" translates as "monkey's tail", and this is the common name of this plant. Native to Bolivia.

Plant of the Day
Wednesday 1 February 2023
Adding a vertical element to this cacti house is Cleistocactus strausii (silver torch). This is a vigorous cactus covered in white spines on hairy, bluish-grey columns. It must be lovely when covered in tubular deep red or burgundy flowers which are scattered along the stems in summer.

Cleistocactus hyalacanthus
Cleistocactus is a genus of generally slender-stemmed columnar cacti from South America. While many of the species start out growing erectly, but then sprawl to the side as they elongate, Cleistocactus hyalacanthus is one of those that keep to an upright growth form, making a cluster of shaggy columns. The spine color ranges from white to yellowish-brown. This species is similar to C. strausii, but its flower color is more pinkish-red (as opposed to the more purplish-red color of C. strausii, which also has longer flowers). The tubular flowers, attractive to hummingbirds, are a notable feature of the genus. C. hyalacanthus is native to northwestern Argentina.
