Ferocactus wislizeni

This beautiful barrel cactus is abundant in southern Arizona, but it also occurs farther to the east, as well as southward into northwestern Mexico. Its large and showy flowers can be various shades from yellow to orange to red, blooming mainly in late summer and fall. Note that "wislizeni" is the correct spelling, although it is often listed as "wislizenii".

I may have a name suggestion, if that's okay... I can't tell from the few images you've uploaded, but it looks like it could be a Ferocactus wislizeni. (Forgive me if that's wrong, I don't mean to assume anything, I'm just speculating.) My suggestions are Candy, Ari, Wilson, Zenny, and.. Cactus. Feel free to disregard this, I just wanted to help if I could...

oh my gosh ive only noticed your ask now (ಥ﹏ಥ) i swear that wasn't me ignoring i'm just a little dumbdumb sometimes. anyhow i really like wilson. but ive grown used to just calling him cactus. so it'll be wilson cactus from now on. something of that the name, the other is surname

thank you so much for the help! was highly appreciated

The majestic Ferocactus wislizeni. Called the compass barrel because they often lean south toward the sun. #Cactaceae #Ferocactus #ferocactuswislizeni #barrelcactus #arizona #sonorandesert #botany #botanize (at Superior, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCAKOQr6CE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are some popular cactus varieties that grow well in Texas: Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia): Prickly pears are iconic cacti with flat, paddle-shaped pads and vibrant yellow or red fruits. They are well-adapted to Texas' climate and can be found in both rural and urban landscapes. Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus): Barrel cacti are round and barrel-shaped, covered in prominent spines. They have a striking appearance and can tolerate the intense heat and dry soil of Texas. Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea): Although native to the Sonoran Desert, the iconic saguaro cactus can also be found in parts of West Texas. These tall, branching cacti are known for their impressive size and distinctive silhouette. Lace Cactus (Echinocereus): Lace cacti are small and compact, with intricate spines and vibrant, showy flowers. They are well-suited to Texas' hot and dry conditions and can add beauty to rock gardens or containers.

It has a unique globular shape and can tolerate extreme temperatures and drought. Fishhook Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus wislizeni): This barrel cactus features hooked spines that resemble fishhooks.

This fella showed up the other day and seemed a little lost, so I gave them some directions and sent them on their merry way! A bit too much rainfall in these parts for their liking!

the various pictures show it at different angles. in all of them, it is sitting on a red stone disc in a garden.]

The above photo is the Cylindropuntia imbricata (Tree Cholla). I always forget about it, the three Sedums, and the Sempervivum ‘Killer’ that are outside in the bed in the…

Ferocactus wislizeni

One of the nice things about the genus Ferocactus is the way different species flower at different time of the year. Ferocactus wislizeni opts for the late summer, with its flowers coming in various shades of yellow, orange or red. Our plant is old enough to flower, but it is by no means full grown, since mature specimens reach a height of perhaps 1.6 m (a little over 5 feet). Native to the southwestern U.S. and across the border in northwestern Mexico.
