February Blooms



Dahlia cactus
Echinocereus poselgeri, this native cactus can be found growing in the thorn scrub of South Texas, actually it is very difficult to find unless it is in bloom, otherwise it looks like a greenish or gray stick among countless other grey sticks.

  1. Are you from the RGV? I also collect cactus and I am trying to get some native to the RGV.

  2. I live in Austin, but I grow a lot of species that originate in the RGV (Rio Grande Valley) around McAllen, Texas. If you can tell me what plants you're looking for I would be happy to help you find a source online or a nursery that carries them.
