Re: Kew Gardens
Various plants in the covered but outside section. Backs up the hardy if dry argument as I recall these have been here for a few years now.

Re: Kew Gardens
More great pics! Some really nice Opuntiads.
Very nice photography too.
I agree, The Mamm sp. does look like M. theresae. And the orange Echinocereus is E. pensilis.

Re: Kew Gardens
The first Echinocereus is E. moricalli and the second one is E. stramineus.
