Epithelantha bokei

Epithelantha bokei, a captivating cactus, charms with its diminutive stature and intricate beauty. This slow-growing species forms small, dense mounds of spherical to short cylindrical stems, rarely exceeding 2 cm in height and 3 cm in diameter. The Epithelantha bokei's surface is densely covered with tiny, white, pectinate spines, creating a delicate, almost furry appearance. These spines almost completely obscure the underlying stem, adding to the plant's allure. From spring to summer, Epithelantha bokei produces small, pink to white flowers at the apex of the stems, often nestled among the spines. These blossoms, though diminutive, add a touch of color to the plant's overall ethereal charm.
