Mammillaria Elongata

Ladyfinger Cactus look like they are covered in elegant lace! Even though they are completely covered in an interlocking network of radial spines, they are harmless, but sharp!
Toucher beware.

No glorious story here of days from long ago. I didn’t aquire this plant until I moved to Georgia. Cactus were a plant that I hadn’t yet tried to grow on my own, and I stumbled across three varieties while out and about one day. The other two have stayed about the same: one tall and thick, one short and round. But the Ladyfinger continues to evolve and change shape.
