Cephalocereus senilis (Old Man of Mexico Cactus)

The Old Man of Mexico Cactus, scientifically known as Cephalocereus senilis, is a unique and fascinating plant native to Mexico. It is easily recognized by its dense covering of shaggy white hairs that give it an old, wispy appearance. This slow-growing cactus can reach heights of up to 15 feet and features multiple branches covered in spines emerging from a thick, columnar trunk. It blooms during the summer, producing showy white or cream-colored flowers.
