Flowering Living Rock cactus with Grasshopper.   The cactus grows so close to the ground that it appears to almost hide below the surface during dry hot weather.   It loves limestone hills, and it is a rare treat to see it bloom.  
Note:   It does not have a good survival rate after digging and transplanting, therefore it is encouraged to leave these cacti where the grow wild.   Please report poachers of this wonderful Big Bend Cactus.
