Trichocereus macrogonus subsp. pachanoi

We got this cactus as Trichocereus scopulicola, but its proper name is a matter of much debate. It belongs to a group of columnar plants from the Andes, including the San Pedro Cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi). I have labeled the photo according to the classification of Joel Lode, but other authorities refer it to Trichocereus bridgesii or Trichocereus lageniformis. In any case, the large flowers open in the evening, and my colleague Tawny was at the garden late enough to capture this photo with the stars visible in the sky.

Thelocactus lausseri

It is still a little early in the year for most cactus species to be flowering, but Thelocactus lausseri is one of the early birds. It has a very restricted range in central Coahulia in northern Mexico. Its spines are densely interwoven (almost like basket weaving) to protect it from getting sunburned in the harsh climate where it grows, so the flowers have to work hard to push out between them.

[syngoniums]

Self-sown Epithelantha micromeris. This species is native to western Texas and self-fertile, flowering and fruiting off and on throughout the warm season, but historically any seedlings that did germinate in this pot ended up dying off for one reason or another. This past year, a top dressing of coarse sand, the addition of Osmocote pellets, and an overall very mild winter has worked in their favor. This isn't even all of them!
