Flower of the Day – Frankenstein
***
This plant is sometimes referred to as Frankenstein. It’s actually a Coral Cactus, aka Candelabra. It’s a grafted cactus and a succulent together. The shape of the upper part is fan-like and has a pink ruffle at the top. I saw this at a store one day. Oh, all parts are toxic, even if you just stick yourself with a spine.
Well, it’s really interesting to read about. Here’s a link: https://www.epicgardening.com/coral-cactus/

Thanks, Carol Anne! I didn’t know it was toxic either until I read about it. I don’t think I want one in the house. I’d probably accidentally touch it! 🌵

Have a fabulous day, Barbara. ♥

Thanks, Sandee! This sure is a different kind, and looks so odd. I like most all cactus and succulents, but don’t want one of these in the house! 🌵

Laughed when I read the name – the description says it all ‘look but don’t touch’. It’s pretty though.
