Gymnocalycium Damsii

Gymnocalycium damsii is a compact and elegant cactus, prized for its slightly flattened, globular shape and well-defined ribs. Its dark green to gray-green surface is often adorned with small, inconspicuous spines. In spring or summer, it can produce delicate, pale flowers, usually pinkish-white, which contrast beautifully with its understated, graphic silhouette. It is an ideal cactus for small spaces and collections.
