3 id's Jardin Botanique de Foncaude (1)

Post by ohugal »

Hi Everyone,

I recently made a post of my trip to the Jardin Botanique de Foncaude in France. I'm also preparing an article for the magazine of my local cactusclub (of that same trip) and was hoping someone could help identify 2 cacti and 1 succulent. Thanks!

Thanks!
I looked up the Ferocactus Echidne on LLIFLE and they look very similar. I do count 5 spines on my picture and 7 on the specimen on LLIFLE. The Ferocactus in my picture has less pronounced ribs, but maybe that's due to cultivation...
I'll look into the Euphorbia and Cylindropuntia later.
