Echidnopsis nubica

Beautiful succulent, made up of stems up to 30 cm high but with an extremely small diameter, which therefore often tend to prostrate themselves on the ground as they grow. Each stem has a rounded section and is equipped with little pronounced tubercles, of a beautiful opaque green which, depending on the sun exposure, tends to take on pleasant reddish-brown shades. The real strong point of E. nubica is its spectacular flowers, which bloom in autumn directly from the length of the stem: from the shape of a 5-pointed star, they present a spectacular contrast between the dark red of the petals and the bright yellow of their internal crown!
