Mammillaria gracilis f. monster (Monstrous)

Mammillaria gracilis f. monster is a very particular cultivar, which is highly sought after by green collectors, which has strange shapes (for this reason the denomination of 'monster'), untypical for the normal shape. In its classic form it is a small cactus with agglomerated stems that give the plant a compact arrangement. The dark green color of its stem contrasts with the white one of its areoles, from which dense straight white spines emerge. During the flowering period, in spring/summer, it blooms with beautiful creamy white flowers.
