Barrels forged by the desert. A genus of about 30 species that inhabits areas from the southwestern United States to much of Mexico, especially the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts and the Baja California peninsula. These are cacti of relentless sun: globose at first, enormous barrels over the years, dressed in ribs and spines that look like armor. They store every drop and wait for the rain to awaken. Ferocactus do not fear the desert: they make it their home.
That is why they are "the boss's" favorites...
