Ferocactus latispinus

Devil's Tongue Barrel! This small bodied Ferocactus is one of my favorites. I have several plants in my collection and I am always finding myself, adding more. The small compact body is remarkably similar to a Texas Horse Crippler but the spines brandished by this plant are broader and flatter. The spines vary in color from amber, red to ashen-grey. The flowers are typically a rich-purple and produced sporadically throughout the spring and warm summer months. It is stunning in containers or the well, drained xeric garden.
