Melocactus azureus v. ferreophilus Caudiciform dark green with white mottlingMelocactus azureus var. ferreophilus This is a nice cephallium forming species with green to blue green skin. It looks and grows like normal cactus several years but once it gets big enough the main plant stops growing but produces a large hairy inflorescence that continues to grow for the rest of the life of the plant.
