The real name is Echinocereus Nivosus (thanks Google!), I just like to call it the cotton cactus for obvious reasons. It looks so soft and fluffy right? No touching though, still as sharp as needle as any other cacti! ;)

Our home has a lot of Cactus plants, but rarely do we get them all to flower. This one flowers all the time, but the flowers have no smell. :( On the up side, they are beautiful!!!
Thanks for sharing your Cactus garden!!
