Trichocereus Hybrid 'Flying Saucer' 12" — Extremely Rare XL Blooming Cactus (Budding)

You already know 'Flying Saucer' is extraordinary — now imagine one that's 10-12 inches tall and already budding, ready to deliver its legendary bloom show right out of the box. Hybridized by Hans Britsch, this extremely rare Trichocereus hybrid produces blooms up to 14 inches in diameter in stunning shades of pink with orange midstripes and a soft pastel yellow throat. The bloom shown with the tape measure? That's the smallest you can expect.

This is the larger, more mature version — for collectors who don't want to wait.

🌸 Bloom Highlights
