Neoporteria occulta

A small cactacea, mostly underground, that even experts sometimes can't easily identify, since there are loads of numerous varieties, that differ both for the color (ranging from green, sometimes even bright green, to purple, and even black) and for the spines (there are some varieties without spines, some are with microscopic spines, others with longer spines), eventhough with aging all occult Neoporterias tend to lose their spines. The inflorescences of this cactus bloom with the shades of yellow or orange-pink, though always maintaining very soft colors.
