This is absolutely fascinating! It reminds me of a starfish, arms out wide like that, I lived in the Phoenix/Gilbert area for a short time and as a New Englander, cacti opened up a whole new world to me. Of course, this isn't really a cactus, but, a succulent. How cool is this plant?

At first, I looked at it and said, it is a starfish! In fact, it is a starfish cactus! Those flowers can get to be almost a foot across! Yours is such a beautiful specimen!I want to thank you for posting it to the #alwaysaflower community! The site is a work in progress, but, I promise it will be awesome in no time! :) I love it! Thank you!
