Neoporteria napina

This spherical cactus is very small, but also very uniform and geometric. It has a typical purplish color body (the color gets intensified with exposure to the sun), with well-defined rhomboid ribs, narrow white areoles and small black, combed spines, that are well attached to the body of the plant. Its inflorescences at the apex of the plant are funnel-shaped, generally in pink and white shades, formed by thin petals and arranged in several layers, which give a silk-like shine effect.
