Tamaulipas Living Rock Cactus, Magueyito

small, very rare plant from isolated areas of Mexico where it is often over collected and nearly extinct. It looks very little like a ca...Read Morectus and more like a Hawarthia (or AGave, hence the name) with stiff, rough, dark green tubercles. The rest of the plant tends to stay underground. LIves in areas where gets muddy in summer, so likes a lot of water then... but very prone to rot other times of the year. Large, bright magenta flowers in fall- sometimes the only way the plant can be found in the wild is to look for it in November when it's flowering.
