These slow-growing cacti are admired for their unique shapes and funnel-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, pink, orange, and red. Ideal for collectors, they thrive in arid and rocky environments, making them a beautiful addition to any succulent collection.

Possible Species in the Mix:
This mix may include several fascinating Pyrrhocactus species:

The bodies are typically dark green to brownish, creating a striking contrast with the bright flowers.
