Wigginsia

Juvenile specimens initially have short spines, but as the plants grow, they form completely thornless areoles. Adult specimens are completely nude and particularly beautiful. RARE!!!

I fusti sono globulari appiattiti, fino a 15 cm di diametro, inizialmente spinosi e poi sempre più lanosi. Diversi fiori gialli lucidi compaiono intorno all'apice molto lanoso del fusto a metà estate.

W. turbinata is a flat growing, partly underground cactus about 15 cm diameter at maturity. It starts out spiny then becomes more woolly. Spines yellowish, short. It will bear several glossy yellow flowers around the very woolly stem apex in mid summer.
