Echinocereus Hybrids in the Jarillo Mts.
presented by Gary Duke
This month’s guest speaker is Gary Duke from Huntington Beach, CA. Gary gave a presentation to our Club in 2003 on Diversity and Density in the Northern Chihauhau Desert. He talked about many species of cactus and succulents in and around White Sands National Monument, New Mexico.
This time Gary will take us back to the same general area of southeast New Mexico called the Jarilla Mountains. His program will cover a phenomenon of naturally occurring hybrids of Echinocereus species of cactus that do not occur anywhere else in the world.
This should prove to be an interesting journey and one that could spark personal interest to going to this area of New Mexico to see it for oneself. Perhaps next spring would be a time to consider such a trip, you never know.
Until we meet again,
Vice-prez Bonnie.
