This exclusive epiphytic cactus from the Brazilian rainforests is radically different from classic, spiny desert cacti. The plant's greatest pride, magnet, and unmistakable signature is its breathtaking and highly structured silhouette: it has no classic leaves, but forms an exceptionally dense and delicate cascade of bright green, segmented stems that visually resemble miniature bottles, sea corals, or \"dancing bones\". As spring approaches, this unusual green shrub generously crowns itself with bright yellow or golden-orange bell-shaped flowers right at the tips of the stems, creating a true festive atmosphere.
