That's interesting, in the first picture there are some Saguaro cacti in the picture, and I didn't think those were outside of the Sonora desert!
Or are those a different species that only looks alike?
- AlotOfReading 6y agoI'm pretty sure those are E. terscheckii, a.k.a. the "Argentine Saguaro". They're semi-popular as ornamentals up in the Sonoran too. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinopsis_terscheckii https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinopsis_terscheckii
- cbanek 6y agoFantastic, thanks so much for the assist! Incredibly interesting, I love Saguaro (live in Tucson so they are everywhere). It's interesting these ones have mescaline in them too! The flowering looks a bit different though.
