Unidentified striking Cactus at Chicago Botanical Gardens
Follow up: 9:05 pm 7/21/17 Just checked the Chicago Botanical Plant Directory and this particular cactus is listed as "Madagascar Ocotillo Alluaudia procera" Attached is also the original photo. So everyone is correct, and I learned something. π Thank you Dave and Baja.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

I saw the interesting banner and was just about to complement you on the interesting Alluaudia picture! I am glad you got it identified so quickly! :smily:
....as someone who loves to browse the out-of-africa-plants.com pages every so often...
I realized I had not seen most of the banners somehow. So, I just went down the whole list. So far two have made me lose my mind with admiration. Yours is one of them. Really cool. I so admire such keen vision. Thank you.
Very nice, Dame Fleur.
