Frailea

Frailea is a small, globular cactus native to South America. It exhibits distinctive yellow flowers that often bloom near the crown. Known for its rapid flowering response to rainfall, frailea is adapted to arid environments with quick cycles of growth. Its compact size and spiny surface aid in water retention, crucial for survival in harsh, dry habitats.
