Only a minor issue with the picture: the species name on the arboretum tag doesn't match this listing, and the Echinocereus in the picture doesn't match the rest in the listing. Sorry I don't have one to substitute.

Can you read the tag? My old eyes can't see the species.

The sign on the left says Echinocereus brandegeei
and the sign on the right says Grusonia invicta which is what the plant is.
Xeno.

Well IMHO the label on the right saying Opuntia invicta is only correct for the 4 branches we can see on the right side of this photo. While the main/center plant in this photo is actually an Echinocereus brandegeei as the the center label says..

Phil, do you agree with Jordi's assessment? I may have misunderstood your post and moved the photo to the wrong entry.
