Maria Asked

I have a plant with green leaves and a white flower, about 7 inches tall. After blooming, a thorny ball forms. What kind of plant could this be?

The Gardener’s Answer

Hello, Maria in Arizona: Is it possible for you to send me a photo of this plant? You can send it to angiemcmanus@hotmail.com. Any additional information about the plant in terms of its location, hardiness, and bloom time would be helpful. I am gardening in Kentucky so trying to identify a plant growing in Arizona is difficult without a photo. Thanks!
