I have had these little cacti all around my property for years... they are sort of annoying, as they are "hidden" and pose a threat to the dogs who are not aware that stepping on them might be a bad idea. The ones which dare to grow inside our fenced area are "re-homed" to a less trod area. In all the years I have seen these little suckers, I never knew they flowered! Yesterday, while tramping near the arroyo, I discovered this guy! Respect!Needless to say, I am not as annoyed by them now that I know they are so adorable. After a little research, it seems that this is a pincushion cactus.
The top image is of another cactus which I believe is about to flower.
