Echinopsis subdenudata (Easter Lily Cactus) - cactus globular cu flori spectaculoase albe

Echinopsis subdenudata , also known as the Easter Lily Cactus , is a small, globular cactus native to Bolivia and Paraguay, prized for its compact habit and large, white, fragrant flowers that appear in spring. The dark green body is rounded, with well-defined ribs and very short or almost non-existent spines ("subdenudata" = almost spineless), which makes it attractive and easy to handle.
