Contest 36: The Cacti of Texas
Well, here comes my chosen plant from the Cacti of Texas list. It is most likely the only cactus that I could plant a lot of without getting into trouble:
1. It is not large and hard to spot, because it blends in with the ground.
2. It does not have spines and does not even look like a cactus. So my wife would not know its identity.
This plant, Ariocarpus fissuratus, is found in the Big Bend area of the Rio Grande in Texas. It flowers at my place in October/November, only outdone by Ferocactus latispinus, which tries to bloom in December/January.
