Escobaria Sneedii Subsp. Sandbergii

Sandberg's liveforever, scientifically known as Escobaria sneedii subsp. sandbergii, is a rare and resilient succulent native to the Chihuahuan Desert. This unique plant thrives in harsh, arid environments where few other species can survive. Its ability to store water in its thick, fleshy stems allows it to endure long periods of drought. The plant's vibrant yellow flowers bloom only briefly, making it a fleeting but stunning sight in its natural habitat. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, Sandberg's liveforever is now listed as endangered, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.
