Pediocactus bradyi fh055

Post by Derek »

As there seems to be quite a bit of interest in pediocactus et al, Fritz has kindly sent me this photo of one of his plants in flower .... Thanks Fritz.

Here's a few photos taken in April this year, none flowering I'm afraid as I was a little early. First is a small seedling which I believe to be Sclerocactus parviflorus although it looks rather like a Pediocactus. The only mature plants in the same locality were parviflorus. I have photos of plants at different stages of development and they do appear to be parviflorus. Photo taken near the Four Corners, NM.

This photo was taken at the same locality and if you look closely enough you can just make out a few specimens of Sclerocactus parviflorus (centre) , not always so easy to spot.

I think this maybe the skeletal remains of Sclerocactus mesa-verdae, unfortunately I didn't find any live specimens although I was in the right area for the plant.

Now into Utah and Pediocactus simpsonii hiding beneath a small shrub just infront of the GPS unit.

A closer view of the same plant just a shame I wasn't there a couple of weeks later to see the flowers.
