In recent months, I’ve added several new succulents to the cactus and succulent section of our patio. We get them either from the gift shop at the Botanic Gardens or at the local home supply outlet’s garden shop. This morning, we had this lovely “rainbow” appear.

Echinobvia hybrids, “Rainbow bursts,” are so named for their spectacular display of colorful flowers during the spring and summer months. These hybrids are crosses between Echinopsis and Lobovia succulent species, hence the Echinobvia hybrid designation. This cultivar must be protected from frost and be placed in an area that gets direct sunlight for most of the daylight hours.
