Obregonia denegrii (Cactus)

A very small and slow growing cactus. Its globular shape is very recognizable and particular, it kind of resembles a pineapple or a pine cone. The epidermis has a color, that varies from green to gray. The spines grow at the ends of the tubercles and are white to brown in color. In summer, the funnel-shaped white flowers sprout from the down of the apex and open up during the day. This small Obregonia reaches a maximum of 15 cm in width. It is a solitary cactus, that's why you will never find it clustered or with offsets around.
