Bunny Ears
True to its name, this spotted cactus has large circular to elliptical paddles that give it its features. Interestingly enough, this cactus does not grow spines, but has short whitish-brown prickles called glochids. With a rich green body, creamy yellow flowers, and small purple fruits, it stands out in the dusty desert.
