Neoporteria species
Date: 1982 August 30 Location: Observatorio Cerro Tololo, Chile Two plants of Neoporteria, each about 20cm in diameter. The dense spination makes it difficult, especially in a photograph, to see what type of plant you are looking at. It's a little easier in real life, with the advantage of stereo vision, and the ability to move around and look between the spines. | |
