This smaller specimen from the Chihuahuan desert was cast during the rainy season (August-September) there and exhibits the exaggerated form it takes during this period of robust growth and flowering. During the dry, cold months of winter, this same individual will flatten out and possibly shrink below the ground surface, a perfect adaptation to the harsh winters.
