Dwarf Turk's Cap | Melocactus Matanzanus
The Caribbean King: Melocactus matanzanus
Looking for a cactus with a literal "crown" on top? Meet the Dwarf Turk's Cap Cactus.

It’s sophisticated, slightly eccentric, and totally unique in the cactus world. The Melocactus is famous for its mid-life transformation. While it starts as a handsome, ribbed green globe, it eventually reaches a point where it stops growing "up" and starts growing its Cephalium—that iconic, bristly red "cap" on top
