Echinocactus texensis (Cactus)

Echinocactus texensis is a robust solitary cactus (hardly clusters), also called "Candy cactus", due to its red fruits, which are used to produce candies. Its greyish-green stem has numerous clearly visible ribs, where rigid and curved radial spines and straight central ones of a greyish-pink color, emerge. In late spring you can admire its beautiful white-pink flowers. This plant is ideal for decorating your rock gardens.
