Melocactus concinnus, growinig in a pot in a friend's front porch, Nea Demetrias suburb, Volos city, Greece. Melocactus concinnus is native to the Caribbean, western Mexico through Central America to northern South America, and mature plants are easily recognizable by their cephalium, a wool- and bristle-coated structure at the apex of the plant, containing a mass of areoles from which the small flowers grow, later turning in to oblong-shaped pink/fuschia seeds.
