Eriosyce senilis

This is a highly variable species. This is a nice four-headed clump with white spines. It stays dry during the short winter days but will reward with gorgeous flowers when given adequate water in the Summer.
We're expected to get a late blast of winter cold for the next couple of days. I know our friends in Wisconsin will laugh, but we're even expecting 2 or 3 inches of snow tomorrow! But from the news stories it would appear that we're facing something more in the range of a real blizzard...

    This plant is beautiful. I've never seen a "hairier" cactus!

    This is one of our favorites of the cacti. The spines are quite variable, from dark brown to white and quite stiff to soft and flexible. Susceptible to rot if watered much during the winter. Over the years we've rotted our share, but it's worth the risk.
