Ferocactus stainesii

A solitary globose cactus, which over time can assume a columnar habit. The body, of an intense dark green color, has multiple well-defined ribs, on which large round white downy areoles can be seen. Its strong reddish or yellowish spines are flattened, slightly curved, which tend to envelop the body. On the apex, a crown of fantastic funnel-shaped orange flowers blooms.
