Ferocactus latispinus, often called the Devil’s Tongue Barrel, is a striking barrel cactus known for its wide, flattened, hooked central spines that curve dramatically outward. The body is rounded, blue-green to grey-green, with bold ribs and strong structure. In autumn to winter, it produces beautiful funnel-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, or magenta on the crown, adding vivid color to this fierce-looking plant.
