A CACTUS FROM
BELOW CAMARGO, QUERÉTARO
Look here:
Have you ever met such a congenial-looking cactus family? These, about 1.5 feet tall,
grew at the rim of an arroyo's vertical bank. I think they're CORYPHANTHA ERECTA, endemic
to three states here in north-central Mexico, but grown widely elsewhere because they are
so handsome. I couldn't get to the plants to snatch a flower for certain identification,
but they match pictures on the Internet. |
