As usual, those are excellent habitat pictures Juan, it's the second best thing to visiting the area. Good to see the pics of Eulychnia, I think we don't see
enough
of this genus in cultivation.
Thank you.

Hello

I'm sorry if I dont put too much information about locations. I will try to not mix the locality and plants.

and I will start with Antofagasta, the 2º region ("¿state?") of Chile:

Florencia in "la Portada de Antofagasta".

Image

and I climb 2 mountains, more than 800 mt, trying to find Eriosyce recondita, but was imposible. I only found Copiapoa calderana ssp. atacamensis
Image

Antofagasta is at 1371 km. at north of Santiago.

aqui un mapa:

Hello

if you remember, that I time I call that plant "thelocephala"... but in the last journal of the BCSS, H. Walter and W. Maechler described this plants as Eriosyce napina ssp. riparia

here you can find a set of photos

These pictures are fantastic. What is the glass container over the plant for? I guessed it was to speed the flower opening.

Extraordinary!

I am very intrigued with this thread. It is amazing to observe how vast and diverse the world of cacti truly is. Outstanding photography.
