Once fully grown, the golden barrel cactus begins to bloom small, yellow flowers around the top of its crown in the summer. These buds attract essential pollinators like bees and butterflies. Birds of this region can also use specialized beaks to pull out the fruit inside the flowers.
The Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) is a slow-growing succulent that can reach up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It typically grows 1 inch per year when healthy, but the rate slows down as it matures
