Cylindropuntia Rosarica

Rosarica cactus, scientifically known as Cylindropuntia rosarica, is a striking member of the cactus family native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This plant is characterized by its cylindrical stems and clusters of vibrant yellow flowers that bloom in the spring. Despite its delicate appearance, it is highly adapted to arid environments, storing water in its thick, spiny stems. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it a resilient choice for xeriscaping. Its unique beauty and ecological importance make it a fascinating subject for both botanists and gardeners alike.
