Ooooh, great find! Peyotes are endangered, I think, so it's a real treat to see one in the wild. I'd like to grow one, but
alas, that would be illegal. Plus, I can't find any domestic sources of seed. Oh, well. I hope it keeps thriving.

Brandon, it is good to see you posting again, we have missed you on the Texas forum.

knowledgeable !
And she LOVES butterflies !
There were several little groups like this one in a small area. I felt priviledged and took many pictures.
Oh, man, there's more? You lucky dog, you!
Sorry for being absent so long, Josephine. Work and school have not allowed me much free time.

One of those would go so nicely in my cactus garden....
Don't let the feds hear you saying that, LOL! (Truth be told, I think we'd all like one)

If I "find" one I will have one.
