Description

Cactus de Colores. A vertical botanical of cool colors in a hot climate! This California cactus was towering over my head and as I glanced up, the epiphyte growing on the edge of it caught my eye. When I looked at the photo I was amazed by the variety of colors showing on the different facets. This tall, succulent cactus is a member of the plant family Cactaceae within the order Caryophyllales. I believe it specifically is a Pachycereus marginatus. An epiphyte, aerophyte, or air plant is a plant that grows harmlessly on another plant and depends on it for support but not food. Epiphytes get moisture and nutrients from the air or from water that collects on the host plant.
