The golden button thorns are hard, slightly short, and golden in color. The flowers of the golden button are rose-red and easy to bloom. They can continue to bloom throughout the summer and into autumn. The flower shape is similar to that of the fairy finger, but the flowers of the golden button are larger and will continue to bloom and will not close at night. The golden button is cross-pollinated, and the ripe fruits are hidden among the soft thorns.

The golden button is bright green when young, and then turns gray-green. It has 10-14 shallow ridges and 10-20 radial spines. The new spines are red and then turn yellow to brown. It blooms in April and May. The flowers are symmetrical on both sides, pink in color, open during the day and closed at night. The berries are spherical and red.

The golden button has 10-12 rigid radiating spines; the new spines are light red, while the old spines are yellowish brown. The long, deformed stem resembles a mouse's tail and is very peculiar. The golden button usually blooms in April and May. The pink flowers open during the day and close at night, which is very interesting.
