Frailea

The "dadakii" form is globular, depressed on top, with about 12 ribs. It branches profusely from the base forming soon dense clumps. The spines are all radial, usually 8, brownish passing to white, curved backwards and twisted.

F. schilinzkyana is a tiny odd species with small heads and friendly short spines. On beautiful summer days one can admire the splendour of its beautiful yellow flower, larger than the plant itself.
