Golden crown cactus, scientifically known as Cleistocactus chrysocephalus, is a striking member of the cactus family native to the Andes mountains of South America. This unique plant is characterized by its dense, yellowish-green stems that form a crown-like shape, giving it its common name. It produces vibrant orange flowers during the warmer months, adding a dramatic visual contrast to its foliage.
