The Green Flower Nipple Cactus (Mammillaria carmenae) is a fascinating and exotic succulent that makes a standout addition to any plant collection. Known for its distinctive appearance, this cactus features a cylindrical, ribbed body covered with small, prominent tubercles that resemble green, flower-like structures. Native to Mexico, the Green Flower Nipple Cactus is well-adapted to arid conditions and is prized for its unique and captivating look.
