Frailea perbella (Cactus)

It is a highly sought after dwarf cactus, which is truly unique, due to its extremely particular characteristics. It has a globular or slightly elongated stem that widens at the apex, equipped with long and dark areoles, from which very short combed glassy white spines protrude, that flatten on both sides of each areole along the stem. At the apex it has a thick down, in the middle of which large sulfur-colored flowers blossom; they are very showy and ornamental. The large tuberous root allows the plant to survive even during drought, but at the same time, this small cactus is able to "deflate" until it hides almost completely under the ground, in order to protect itself from bad weather!
