I love the Tillandsia and the Hechtia. Surprisingly, I've never come across anything in the latter genus locally.

I actually went back to Watson's the day after I posted those photos on Instagram and bought the Orthophytum 'Copper Penny' that they had for sale -- also spiky and colorful. Probably not all that rare or unusual compared to what you saw on your trip, but I like it.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90772258929201485252019-04-12T09:15:48.969-07:002019-04-12T09:15:48.969-07:00Amazing haul!
