Ariocarpus scapharostroides

Ariocarpus scapharostroides is a rare and intriguing cactus species known for its low-growing, rosette-shaped structure. The plant’s triangular, fleshy tubercles spread out in a star-like pattern, with a unique blend of green to grey-green hues. These tubercles are often covered with a fine, woolly texture, adding to its distinctive appearance. In the fall, this cactus produces large, pink to magenta flowers that emerge from the center, providing a striking contrast against its subdued body. The Ariocarpus scapharostroides is a prized addition to any cactus collection, appreciated for its unusual form and beautiful blooms.
