Islaya islayensis (Cactus)

Also called Eriosyce islayensis. In nature this cactus grows in desert areas of mineral sediments. A curios fact: in the area, where it grows naturally, it never rains and the only source of humidity is a thick fog (called Garua), coming from the Pacific Ocean. Its green stem is characterized by large very downy white areoles, from which sturdy spines of a variable size and color emerge. These spines act as protection at high temperatures. In summer, it produces large, funnel-shaped diurnal yellow flowers.
