echinocereus coccineus
The Scarlet Hedgehog Cactus is a bright red cactus that looks like it has little hedgehogs on it! It loves to soak up the sunshine and can survive in very dry places.
生息地: It lives in dry, desert areas of the southwestern United States and Mexico.
The Scarlet Hedgehog Cactus has vibrant scarlet to orange-red flowers that form a striking crown atop its spiny, clumping green stems. Its densely packed spines give it a fuzzy, hedgehog-like appearance, making it distinct from smooth-stemmed cacti.
