Echidnopsis cereformis Yellow form Cactus An unusual succulentEchidnopsis cereformis A easy to grow Stapeliad with snake like stems and tiny yellow flowers. The flowers are just a few millimeters wide but it flowers regularly during the warmer months unlike a lot of the showier Stapeliads that bloom once a year or so.
