Echinocereus knippelianus var. kruegeri
Date: 1998 March 15
Location: Nuevo Leon

Above left, a flower is all that is visible in the grass. At right another plant with some of the grass cleared so that the plant body can be seen.

We were particularly glad to find these, as they must be near-impossible to locate except when in flower.

Below, Peter Berresford photographs the Echinocereus (rightmost flower). The next flower to the left is actually a Stenocactus, which needed close examination of the flower, or else looking under the grass at the body, to distinguish it from the Echinocereus.

Here is a photograph of a seed-raised plant of this same species in my collection.
