Pediocactus simpsonii was first named by George Engelmann for army engineer James H. Simpson under the name Echinocactus simpsonii. Simpson led an expedition in Colorado, and Engelmann named the species "in honor of the gallant commander" of the expedition
These flowers are born in the center of the cactus and are usually a brilliant pink, but can sometimes be whitish in color.
