Golden barrel cactus growing inside a greenhouse at M. M. Hryshko Botanical Garden.

A large golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) with its characteristic ribbed surface and sharp yellow spines, thriving in a greenhouse environment. The dense cluster of spines contrasts with the smooth green body, and the top of the cactus is covered in a soft, woolly texture. Several other barrel cacti and smaller succulents grow nearby, creating a vibrant desert display. Visitors exploring the greenhouse and various potted plants are visible in the background.
