Mammillaria columbiana

It is a small, slow-growing cactaceae called “cactus with a thousand faces”, due to its variability. Its densely downy stem has numerous conical shaped tubercles. From the areoles dense needle-like spines of white and yellow colors grow. It produces small flowers, embedded in the down, of a bright red-pink color, that do not open fully. It is a plant easy to grow, which, if exposed to a lot of light, tends to take on a bronzed hue, which favors even more the blooms and the presence of a down.
