33: Pincushion Cactus

Pincushion cactus, also known as Mammillaria, is a type of cactus that is commonly found in the desert regions of North and South America. As its name suggests, this cactus has a round and padded appearance, with numerous small spikes or "thorns" covering its surface. Its striking appearance, coupled with its ability to thrive in arid and dry conditions, has made the pincushion cactus a popular choice among cactus enthusiasts and gardeners alike. Despite its spiky exterior, the pincushion cactus is known for producing beautiful and vibrant flowers, adding a striking element to any arid landscape.
