These are commonly known as Mexican Fencepost or scientifically known as Pachycereus marginatus. Flowers line up on the stems and can be greenish
to pinkish.
Echinopsis aurea have such large flowers compared to the cactus itself.
Staghorn Cholla, or Cylindropuntia versicolor, can have this bronzish coloration to its flower, or it can be red, pink or yellow.
When we start talking Prickly Pear, I give up on trying to find the scientific names for the most part.
This Prickly Pear, I do know as Beavertail, or Opuntia basilarus.
Black Spine Prickly Pear, Opuntia macrocentra, flowers have a red center. I have never seen so many in bloom at one time as this one!
Here is a closer shot of a single flower.
