Trichocereus Hybrid 'Flying Saucer' — Extremely Rare XL Blooming Cactus (Budding, 6–7")

The wait is almost over — this 'Flying Saucer' is already budding and ready to deliver its legendary bloom show this season. Hybridized by Hans Britsch, this extremely rare Trichocereus hybrid produces jaw-dropping blooms up to 14 inches in diameter in stunning shades of pink with orange midstripes and a soft pastel yellow throat.
