Re: Winter in Arizona - my prime cactus flowering season
Fantastic James! I don't believe I've told you, but I managed to find seed of M. hofackerianus - will have to share some seedlings with you in spring!

Re: Peniocereus greggii in the Tucson Area
Check out iNaturalist. There's probably quite a few observations of P. greggii on there you can use!

Re: Armatocereus from seeds
