Ferocactus glaucescens f. variegated (Variegated)

The variegated shape of this cactaceae presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each exemplar absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. It’s a solitary cactus, medium-sized and barrel-shaped. Its stem, with its characteristic greyish blue color, has well marked ribs framed by woolly white areoles, from which come out yellow thorns, robust, straight or slightly curved. In late spring it produces beautiful yellow funnel-shaped flowers, which form a ring at the apex of the plant.
