Re: Echinomastus johnsonii care

Let's not forget the nice population up on the edges of Death Valley too! (my apologies if I missed mention of that abaove, kind of in a hurry today). Good advice above, also can help to leave the base of the plant elevated a bit from the soil or surrounded by rocks. I grow johnsonii in very poor, m...

Bruno, I love all of your plants! You do such a fantastic job growing the real difficult, challenging ones and keeping them looking like they do in habitat. Always a pleasure seeing your photos!

Baja May 2014

Hello all, just back from another trip to Baja, my 8th covering the entire peninsula in the past 3 years. This time I finally got the boat ride out to Isla Magdalena and camped out there for a night, with some time to hike the volcanic ridge line the first day and hike over to Bahia Santa Maria day ...

Re: Dugas Road, Arizona.

Re: What water do you use to water your cacti?

I use tap water acidified slightly with plain vinegar, about 1.5 teaspoons (7-8 milliliters) of vinegar per 5 gallons of water gets it down to about pH 5.5 or so. Use acidified water right away for full effect. I only bother with this when it has been a long time between rains (often, here!). Rain i...

Re: peterb's 2014

The main flowering season is winding down as it does every year here near May. Soon a good heat wave will come along and knock a lot of stuff into dormancy for the summer. A few new things.

Re: Echinocereus arizonicus

These would be arizonicus nigrihorridispinus, judging from the extra spines, generally smaller stems and longer flower tube. Love these, great photos!
