Echinocactus horizonthalonius We had seen this plant
many times during our two weeks in Mexico. At last, on our final
day, a glimpse of pink - first a plant with
a dead flower, then finally one in bloom - the only specimen
we found. So I do hope that you will forgive me two more images
of the same plant...
The plants were growing among sharp shaly rocks - a menace
to climb on.
Echinocactus often fail to thrive in cultivation, which
made it all the more pleasurable to see this plant at its
best in habitat.
