Echinocereus poselgeri, known as Dahlia Cactus, Lead Pencil Cactus, or Sacasil, is a unique cactus with extremely slender, cylindrical stems that resemble pencils. In spring, it produces spectacular, large, magenta-pink flowers that dwarf the stems. This Texas and Mexico native is a stunning addition to cactus collections, especially when in bloom.
