Mammillaria camptotricha
"Birds Nest"




     From the state of Queretaro Mexico, Mammillaria camptotricha is an interestingly spined clumping cactus that gets heads up to 2 inches tall and 3 inches around. It is aptly called "Birds Nest Cactus" with it's straw colored papery spines. Unfortunately the small yellow flowers are uninteresting.
