Thelocactus lausseri
It is still a little early in the year for most cactus species to be flowering, but Thelocactus lausseri is one of the early birds. It has a very restricted range in central Coahulia in northern Mexico. Its spines are densely interwoven (almost like basket weaving) to protect it from getting sunburned in the harsh climate where it grows, so the flowers have to work hard to push out between them.

This episode focuses on a piece of private property that had been frequented - with permission from the landowner - for decades by botanists, birders, and other naturalists from the region. This piece of land was destroyed last week in order to make way for the border fence, destroying two federally listed endangered plant species, as well as hundreds of "old growth" Peyote plants. This piece of property was one of the most intact crumbs of remaining wildplant and animal habitat in a region that is slowly getting smothered with garbage retail development, car-dependent sprawl and McMansions. The property in question was a private ranch that the state bought (for likely far too little) to build the border wall after the federal government temporarily put a halt to the project on private property. The landowner told us he basically had to sell or suffer an eventual eminent domain possession. He seemed numb. This property had been in his family for at least a hundred years. A friend who's studying rare plants here came out during the afternoon heat to show us where some things were that we missed. Ernesto & I had been here three weeks ago to scope it as well. All these plants (Hamatocactus hamatacanthus, Echinocereus poselgeri, Ancistrocactus scheeri, etc) will be transplanted to a new home in the ground on private property a few miles away where they will be safe and protected, but the state should've been doing this and funding it. Instead it was all volunteers. Botanists & native plant people from the region have been coming here for the past two weeks to rescue plants, like Coryphantha macromeris, Echinocereus poselgeri, Echinocereus enneacanthus, Homalocephala texensis, Thelocactus bicolor, Physaria thamnophila (federally listed), Ancistrocactus scheerii, Hechtia glomerata, Mammillaria sphaerica, Mammillaria prolifera, Escobaria emskoetteriana,Hibiscus martianus and even a few Asclepias prostrata (also federally listed) that were in the direct path of the 200 ft wide by miles-long swath that is going to be cut. Sadly, there was so much that couldn't be saved.

Taken the same day as the previous post, these are ladyfinger cactihedgehog cactus (Thelocactus setispinus). They are native to southern Texas and northern Mexico among shrub vegetation or coastal lowlands and can be found up to 500m altitudes. Flowers bloom in late summer with colors ranging from magenta, pale yellow, bright yellow or lavender blossom, which will later be replaced with a red round fruit. #plant #plants #flower #flowers #wildflowers #wildflower #texasplants #texasplant #txplants #txnature #succulents #succulent #texasnativeplants #cactus #cacti #flora #texasnature #nature #plantae #angiosperms #vascularplant #tracheophyta #liliopsida #dicots #caryophyllales #cactaceae #thelocactus #thelocactussetispinus #hedgehogcactus #minaturebarrelcactus (at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckjuv-FK1kr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thelocactus macdowellii
We have been experiencing a lot of cold and rainy weather lately in northern California, but this wonderful little cactus from northeastern Mexico took advantage of a short stint of sunshine to burst into glorious bloom. Hopefully, more spring-like weather will come soon, and other cacti will follow suit.
