Re: New members (from Chile)
Hi Florencia and Juan
Glad you joined the forum, some very nice Neoporteria's, must admit Eriosyce napina has to be one of my favourites.
Not so keen on the venom showing on the scorpion sting

Re: New members (from Chile)
hello thanks for your kind comments!
I read in the ?Cactus World? one summarized but interesting history of the first discoverer of the Peyote. Was in the 1570's when the spanish Francisco Hernandez knew the first natives and its "magical" relationship with that cacti.
Now I would like to know more about the "history" of the chileans plants. For example, many of BCSS member have old books or maybe remember Ritter, Lembcke, Jung... and other travellers. I will create a topic with one chilean plant /eriosyce or copiapoa/ and I hope that you can share all the "historical" information that you have of them, thus we could review the history of these plants. And later talk about growing tips and habitat conditions, like soils and weather.
What do you think?
PD: we really enjoy wild life. When we are in field we dont feel like botanist; we just feel like any other living creature...
sometimes the ants eat the hilum of the seeds and thus they scatter them... (Copiapoa cinerea, Taltal)

Ectinogonia drinks nectars of the flower and the polen adheres to the hairs that him have in their head and "chest" (Copiapoa fiedleriana, Huasco)

the same does Copestylum in Copiapoa cinerea ssp. haseltoniana (north of Taltal)

we did not dare to ask the name to this couple of romantic pollinator... jiji (Cumulopuntia sp. west of Domeyko)

Re: New members (from Chile)
Hi Florencia and Juan, welcome among us!
I don't know a lot about history and studies of cacti by old explorers, but I look forward to learning more.
Some very beautiful photos on your website!

Re: New members (from Chile)
Neoporteria was named in honour of Carlos Porter, a Chilean entomologist (from A Gardener's Dictionary of Plant Names first published 1963). Apart from that I don't think I can help. Maybe someone has access to the Lindley Library (RHS) or similar.
