also known as Argentine Giant, this cactus grows prostrate and develops large fragrant flowers
the stems initially grow upright, but sprawl to the side as they lengthen
the Argentine Giant sprouts new stems from the base eventually giving the appearance of a cluster of stems radiating outward from the central growth point
large white funnel-form flowers appear in May-June, often coming in several successive flushes
most of the species in this genus are unscented, but these candicans are an exception and have a delightful fragrance
