The compact spherical segments stack naturally into whimsical towers that have earned this form the affectionate nickname \"Purple Snow Man Cactus.\" Exceptionally slow growing and rarely available, these colorful specimens combine extraordinary sculptural form with some of the most distinctive coloration found in any \u003cem data-end=\"1293\" data-start=\"1279\"\u003eTephrocactus\u003c\/em\u003e.
