This is Coryphantha sulcata. One of the common names is Pineapple Cactus. It will have a pretty yellow flower with a red center. Note it has a center spine.

This Rusty Blackhaw tree was weird how the branch had split. Then it went back together. Weird!

Close up the Trout Lily’s flower. The flower points more to the ground.
