In essence the overall appearance of this cacti is extremely variable and mature plants look alot different to it's early form.Rose-white coloured flowers which have hairs on most parts and covered in a dark brown wool appear on the sides of the stems and are between 10-14cm long opening in the evening and lasting anywhere from 18-40 hours. The dark green fruit is densely covered with hairs, is around 5cm long and edible.
