The 1 - 3 central spines are slightly thicker than the radial spines and are between 2 and 7 centimeters long. The 9 to 11 radial spines are up to 1.5 inches long.

The funnel-shaped to bell-shaped flowers that appear near the apex are very variable. They open during the day and are up to 10 centimeters long and up to 7 centimeters in diameter. The olive green, 4.5 centimeter long flower cup is covered with 4 to 6 millimeter long, brownish to black hair.
