One of my coolest cacti from @coldhardycactus this densely spined beauty grows like a shrub, the spines have a papery white coat around them giving it a really white, snowy look. In early summer it produces a lot of greenish yellow flowers followed by decorative yellow fruit. Best part about it, it will survive to 20 below 0°F. #cactus #cactaceae #cacti #coldhardycactus #xeriscape #plantsonblack #foliagefriday #followfriday #plantdaddy #plantgeek #plantnerd #california #discovertheplantcommunity #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsplantsplants #susanvillegardening #susanville #cylindropuntia #cholla #cylindropuntiawhipplei #cylindropuntiawhippleisnowleopard
