total view,
closer,
closeup. Plant identification: The photographers’ original identification was: Claret Cup Cactus, Echinocereus triglochidiatus. – In 2015,
Uleli revised the identification for two of these images, calling the plant Echinocereus enneacanthus and pointing out that “IT IS NOT Claret Cup Cactus, Echinocereus triglochidiatus”. Location: Housing development area off highway 90 between Del Rio and Lake Amistad, Val Verde County, Texas. “Several bunches found near the edge of one of the dirt roads in a new housing development area off Highway 90 between Del Rio and Lake Amistad (not far from Cripple Creek Saloon Restaurant). No homes yet but looks like most of the 2 1/2 acre lots have already been sold. Recent rains make the roads a little messy to travel, but even harder to get out and tromp around on and getting down on hands and knees!”. Date: 22 April 2007, 19:07. Source:
