syn: Ariocarpus denegrii - Artichoke cactus
Description
Obregonia denegrii, also known as the Artichoke Cactus, is a unique and highly sought-after cactus species.

The flowers are small, often pink or white, and appear from the center. It's a slow-growing cactus and a prized specimen for collectors.
