"Penny" Old Lady Cactus (Mammillaria Hahniana)
The Old Lady Cactus (Mammillaria hahniana) is a small, spherical cactus covered in white, hair-like spines that give it a fluffy appearance, with bright pink or red flowers that form a crown around the top. Penny comes in a beautiful blown glass vintage hat vessel.
