What should I name this weird little alien creature?
I think it’s a Mammillaria spinosissima ssp. pilcayensis
Mammillaria are generally native to Mexico, so maybe a name in Spanish, Nahuatl, or another language spoken in Mexico would be neat. Or maybe a leftist historical figure from Mexico, or a cactus-related Aztec deity. But don’t limit yourself to that, if you have any other ideas you should definitely share them!
Maybe a feminine name this time, since I named my last succulent Herbert
Oh that’s clever, this is tough to beat!
Also thanks for the link, I dig the song and lyrics. The 90s had a special way of expressing these feelings that I am still nostalgic for, even though I was only a kid then.
