Discocactus

It has flexible interlacing spines up to 1-2 cm long, that are pectinate, flexible, creamy white or whitish-yellow with dark tips, recurved backwards, sitting on the plant like spiders.

The variety pulvinicapitatus is a particular form of Discocactus placentiformis, distinguished by the shape of its body, which tends to be more flattened and develops a more pronounced and "cushion-like" cephalium.

Obsidian-black disc body crowned by a cream cephalium. Tiny chocolate spines cling tightly downward like hummingbird talons. Each detail conspires in extraordinary harmony. On summer nights, transforms, erupting in sweetly-scented white blooms.
