Melocactus azureus

Facts:
Endemic to Bahia, Brazil, this blue skinned cactus grows a cylindrical, spine covered structure on the top called a “cephalium”. The cephalium is different from the rest of the cactus body because it foes not photosynthesize. It also does not produce chlorophyll or stomata. In fact, it does not form anything like the epidermis of the rest of the plant. Instead, the cephalium produces dense clusters of short spines and trichomes. Most importantly, it produces tightly packed axillary buds in high abundance. These are the buds that will produce the flowers. The end result is a wacky looking structure that has the ability to produce far more flowers than that of cacti that do not grow a cephalium.
