Native Candy Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus wislizeni) are a rewarding cactus to have in your garden.
I planted 4 about three years ago not knowing exactly what bloom colors I’d get and was lucky
to get yellow, orange and red/orange. Here’s a close-up of the red/orange that’s in half bloom.

It’s always a treat to find a full circle of flowers and I have hope for the one in the photo below.
It’s similar in color to the one above but maybe a little deeper. The Verbena was a bonus that
I didn’t notice in the pot with the cactus. It’s not our native gooddingii but I let it stay 🙂
