This is the extended footage of the blooming season for these cactus plants. The Ferocactus latispinus is one of the smallest in the genus and yet the flowers are a vivid purple or pinkish in color. These little cactus barrels display their shiny flower buds during the late fall, just about the time that most of the other Ferocactus species have slowed down or gone dormant. All of the plants in this video are, in taxonomy terms, considered to be of the nominate (same name) subspecies, which is the more common and widely distributed of the two. I had collected about an hour of raw footage. So this video is packed with colorful action and the crested plant even makes a few appearances to sooth your need for weirdness. Most of this was filmed in the late fall of 2014, in Tonopah, Arizona.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Note: There is another variety of this plant with light, yellowish white flowers. The name is Ferocactus latispinus var. flavispinus and they are not in this video. Thanks goes out to the CactiGuide.com for this info!
Please do not hesitate to inform me if you have or have found a video with the other kind of subspecies in it. Those are called subsp. spiralis and they are not in this video.

This video was filmed with a Sony Handycam HDR-CX230 and edited with Sony's "PlayMemories Home" software.
