Did you Know?

There is a Frankenstein cactus, or at least that’s how some describe it. The Coral Cactus (Echinopsis oxygona) is a large plant that changes colour and flower structure depending on how it is treated. It was created by crossing the Chamaeleon Cactus and the Golden Cactus, hence ‘Frankenstein’.
