Cleistocactus baumannii

Beautiful cactacea, with a columnar stem, sometimes slightly branched at the base, well erect and with a diameter of a few centimeters but which reaches in nature even the 2 meters high! It has numerous longitudinal ribs slightly marked, equipped with brown or black areolas that, with the growth, tend almost to disappear; from them emerge sparse yellow thorns, thin and of variable length. In summer Cleistocactus baumannii will delight you with beautiful red-fuchsia flowers, rather long, narrow pipe-shaped and with an apical opening full of thin lively petals!
