Re: Cobweb Cactus
Cobweb cactus doesn't give us much to go on. If you've a digital camera (even a mobile phone one) and could take a pic that would help.

Re: Cobweb Cactus

Re: Cobweb Cactus
Sempervivum arachnoideum is one I thought of. It's a rosette of leaves with a cobweb spun around them. For common names in general try this site
