This smaller columnar cactus, located in the specimen beds between the café and solar field at Sunnylands Center & Gardens, will grow to about three feet. It is a very attractive columnar cactus—perfect for small gardens or several planted in a larger space. The varietal name "grandiflora" is no joke! It produces huge blooms and, with a variety of hybrids on the market, it is available in many colors, including pink, red, yellow, and bright fuchsia. When in bloom, they stop visitors in their tracks. Previously named "Lobivia grandiflora" or "Trichocereus grandiflorus," the Torch Cactus originates in Catamarca, Argentina.

A painted bronze sculpture of Dionysus can be seen mounted as a lamp in the Game Room of the Sunnylands residence. This piece is part of the William Haines collection designed for the home. (fb)
