| Neighbor lady was put in nursing home and I asked to have her plants. This one I can't seem to identify. After washing off concrete mud and potting it in better soil and some water it gave me a thank you bouquet :) It has been neglected for years, not sure if this is the true color of the plant. Your help is greatly appreciated.

| Copiapoa, Robin, maybe C. hypogea. |

| Thanks cactusmcharri! Looks like you are right. Surprised that the neighbor had this plant in her yard. Most of her plants are what I call Home Depot plants :) and capiapoa hypogea is probably not sold at Home Depot :) Thanks again! |

| I agree with the ID by Jeff. This plant is found at HD on occasion, as I'm fairly certain that's where I bought mine. |

| Copiapoa at Homedepot? I gotta get me one... Btw, love the orange on the plant. |

| Looking at photos online they seem more green than orange. I think these were just extremely neglected, no water, full sun, poor soil. But I agree, the orange is kind of nice. I hope that they change over time and that any new growth is healthy green. |

| Robin, The healthy ones are a greyish-green. And if you want some blue colours, get a load of Pilosocereus, which would grow very well for you. |

| Pilosocereus look like big cacti. Not my style :) |
