Epithelantha bokei

Epithelantha bokei, a captivating miniature cactus, enchants with its diminutive size and intricate beauty. This slow-growing species forms small, solitary or slowly clustering stems, rarely exceeding 2 cm in diameter. Its most striking feature lies in its dense covering of tiny, white, pectinate spines, arranged in numerous, closely set rows, creating an almost velvety texture. These spines, often obscuring the stem's surface, lend Epithelantha bokei a charming, frosted appearance. Peeking through the spines, small, pink flowers emerge, adding a delicate touch to this captivating miniature.
