 Copiapoa columna-alba v. Las Marias is a fascinating and rare site-specific form of Copiapoa columna-alba, native to the coastal desert region near Las Marias, Chile. It embodies the quiet strength and beauty typical of the genus Copiapoa and thrives in one of the most extreme arid regions on Earth.


 This variety is characterized by slender, columnar shoots covered with a soft, bluish-gray waxy film that protects the plant from sunlight and retains moisture. The thorns, usually creamy white to pale yellow, are shorter and finer than in other forms, giving 'V. Las Marias' a delicate, almost ethereal appearance.
 The ribs are well-defined and symmetrically arranged, emphasizing the elegant, upright structure.


 From late spring to summer, Copiapoa columna-alba v. Las Marias produces small, bright yellow flowers that emerge from the apex, providing a beautiful contrast to the muted shoot colors. Its slow growth, subtle coloration, and natural elegance make it a particularly prized collector's item for enthusiasts who appreciate the understated minimalism of desert flora.
