Verbena halei (Texas
vervain) - This Texas native loves the cactus bed environment.

| Ariocarpus fissuratus - An incredibly slow growing native cactus that lives in far South and far West Texas. This small cactus could easily be 25 years old. I have had it for 4 years and have not seen any appreciable increase in size. |

Echinocereus reichenbachii subsp. caespitosus - Texas Lace Cactus can come in many spine colors and have quite a lot of variation in flower colors and sizes. I would say the cactus above is subspecies 'caespitosus' from Central Texas given the extra large flower and the relatively increased projection of spines in contrast to the more typical reichenbachii (below) where the spines are tightly held and can easily be touched without the fear of retribution.
