Echidnopsis archeri

Small and pretty succulent with a creeping habit: as its stems grow in length, maintaining a diameter of a few centimeters, they rest on the ground forming further roots and rooting very easily. Of a beautiful emerald green, pleasantly shaded of violet when the succulent is exposed to abundant sunlight, it has numerous prominent tubercles, each of which keeps small white marks in the points where the microscopic leaves fall. One of its strengths is undoubtedly the original inflorescence: bell-shaped, hang along the stems beautiful flowers with not completely open petals of a peculiar almost velvety red-burgundy, which contrasts with the throat typically pale yellow color.
