exhibition cactus Standard

Bloom should be fully double. Centre should be cone shaped and as high as the face florets.

Florets should radiate evenly from the centre without uneven gaps between the rows to outer florets. Florets should all be very narrow, long and pointed with revolute edges overlapping for as near as possible to their length giving a long tube effect, rather than a flattened appearance. Towards the tips, the florets should be strongly incurved and may regularly curve one way. Depth should be at least half but not more than two thirds its diameter. There should be sufficient florets to prevent gaps in formation and outline.
