Last week, cacti were relocated to Boyce Thompson Arboretum from a site in El Paso, Texas. Members of our fantastic horticulture team made the trip to Texas to meet with the @epcactusandrockclub and @keystoneheritagepark that saved over 300 Echinocactus horizonthalonius and Pelecyphora macromeris cacti from a construction site.
Half of the rescued cacti were brought back to Boyce Thompson Arboretum and will be added to the Arboretum`s Chihuahuan Desert collection.
Echinocactus horizonthalonius - Sometimes called Eagle`s Claw, this cactus is native to Southwestern states and Northern Mexico.
Pelecyphora macromeris - This species is native and common in the Chihuahuan Desert. In spring and summer this species blooms vibrant pink and purple flowers.
