There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Re: Echinocactus grusonii in habitat
Yes that is the Dam project that flooded most of it's original type locality and destroyed many plants, though another location was found later. I believe they dug some mature plants up and relocated them before flooding occurred, but how many survived I do not know. One plant much more numerous in cultivation than in the wild.
