Tephrocactus recurvatus (Cactus)

Cactacea typical of the genus Tephrocactus, characterized by contiguous segments that grow on each other giving rise to pleasant twisted bushes. The stem, of a delicate opaque dark green, is adorned by roundish little marked tubercles, from which sprout very long spines of more than 5-6 cm, pinstriped grey, which tend to face upwards with curved trend (hence the name of the species) and twisted, like a kind of rigid tangle that gives the cactus a sinuosity and a dynamism absolutely unique!
