May 2013 - Little Gems

Post by Sheila »

Hi,

I'd like to make the subject for May's competition "Little Gems" (i.e. anything naturally small growing).

Best Wishes,

Sheila

Another of the very small echinocerei - Echinocereus palmeri. This one succumbed in the winter following these pics and I am now chancing my arm with a second of these :-)

This plant was in a 2.5" pot when these pics were taken :
