Neoporteria atrispinosa is a striking and somewhat mysterious cactus species native to the coastal mountains of Chile. Known for its dark, almost black spines and deeply ribbed, globular to slightly columnar body, it brings a dramatic, gothic charm to any collection. In spring to summer, it produces beautiful funnel-shaped flowers, often in shades of pink, purple, or magenta, contrasting beautifully with its spiny armour.
