Hmmm. hard to say which one that is. Is that the creeping Dulcis/brandegeei from the Coast Range I guess you'd  call it, near Ocampo?

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

That big cactus is Echinocactus platyacanthus.  There is one at Bustamante pictured in the cabanas at La FLordia (I think you went there, Zac?) they call El Gigante - is is 10 ft tall and must be many hundreds of years old.  I wanna go back!

A farewell to biodiversity.

Can´t imagine ($$$) why PROFEPA or somebody else stop either legal or illegal traffic of endangered, voulnerable of cactus (animals, plants). They are so slow growing, each day dissapears a specie some of they not even described before.

At the end México will be an empty space between USA and Guatemala without any animal or plant; like some palms, animals that you can see them every where but their natural habitat.
