Oreocereus celsianus

Oreocereus is a genus of columnar cacti, usually with long white hair, native to the Andes Mountain Range in South America. The plant seen here is the largest species, from northern Argentina and southern Bolivia. Its pinkish-red tubular flowers are adapted for pollination by hummingbirds, which extract the nectar from within.
