trucha Posted April 1, 2012 This took several months to put out any growth after it appeared to be dead following some brutal cold in winter 2010-2011. It was photographed more than a year later. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted April 1, 2012 Absolutely remarkable, Thanks for sharing Trucha. So what populations was this one amongst, echinata or williamsii? The pups seem quite plump, & looks like some decent growth for under 2 years. I imagine there is still quite a good bit of root left under there, would be amazing to be able to see what was happening under all the dead growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I feel compelled to tap 'Like This' every time i read your posts trucha. It must be the vibration of your greatness. . Lophophora seem pretty resilient hey, they can grow in the most crap conditions, yet us gardeners pamper them liker they are very delicate.

trucha Posted April 2, 2012 Its an echinata planted in a moderately rich succulent mix. I'll post a picture of the uprooted plant, from last year when it was still presumed dead, as soon as I've overcome some harddrive surprises. Seeds are available in horticulture in the form of the northern Mexican collections such as from Cuatro Cienegas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
