Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis Eyriesii, Native to Bolivia and Neighboring Countries.)
How to Care for this Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis eyriesii, native to Bolivia and neighboring countries.) This little cactus has a long legacy—its great-grandparent was given to the grower in 1968, and these plants were featured in the Los Angeles Times: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home_blog/2010/05/easter-lily-cactus-echinopsis-eyriesii-echinopsis- oxygona.html *With proper care, it will grow and give you incredibly beautiful flowers off and on April–Sept. *Flowers are over 6-8 inches tall and about 4 inches across with a delicate scent. *Unwrap cactus; if you cannot plant immediately, set upright in shallow bowl of water so bottom is wet and put out in the sun or in a sunny window—wear gloves to protect from spines. *A wide bowl is the best shape for planting; the cactus will grow to the size of a mini- watermelon or big cantaloupe in a few years! I use Fiskars 14” Terrabowls available from Amazon.com, about $12. Buds or “pups” often form and grow around the sides of the plant. You can leave them or gently break them off and plant them, once they are at least 1-2” in diameter. *Miracle Gro Cactus & Citrus Potting Soil is good, holding enough moisture but providing drainage—however, other potting soils are fine too. *Once night time temps drop below 40 degrees, keep the plant inside, in a sunny south- facing window. (They can be out year-round in milder climates). Baby plants should be watered once a week as they are just developing roots.

Cold Hardy Landscape Cacti & Succulents for Central Texas Jeff
Cold Hardy Landscape Cacti & Succulents for Central Texas Jeff Pavlat 3/11 The following is a list of recommended landscape plants for Central Texas. Keep in mind that there is a great deal of temperature variation across the region. Temperatures in outlying areas are in some cases 10 to 15 degrees colder than those in town. The cold tolerances listed are approximate. It is important to recognize that there are a number of factors which determine hardiness. Plants placed on south facing slopes receive more solar heat and tend to have a better chance of being undamaged. Plants also fair better with some overhead protection from a tree or shrub. It also helps for them to be placed where they will not receive direct north wind. Generally, low-growing plants receive more ground heat than taller plants and are less likely to freeze. The state of the plant as it enters freezing temperatures is an important factor as well. For instance, many cacti and succulents will endure considerably colder temperatures when dry rather than wet (In fact, cold and wet is often a lethal combination for many cact i). Plants of the same species originating from different parts of the plant’s native range can also result in higher or lower tolerances. It is possible to have two plants of the same species placed side by side and have one freeze, while the other survives. Often some experimentation is necessary to determine what plants will work best for your garden. Cold Hardy Cacti Species (*Texas Native) Common Name Min. Temp.

Ethnobotanical Identification of Echinopsis Pachanoi in Himachal Pradesh
Ethnobotanical Identification of Echinopsis Pachanoi in Himachal Pradesh. A New Candidate for the Soma Plant? Abstract Ethnobotanical fieldwork identifies for the first time in literature the existence of the cactus Echinopsis Pachanoi in Himachal Pradesh, India. Given similarties to references to the soma plant found in vedic scriptures, the hypothesis is formulated that the plant could be a candidate for the Soma. Introduction Fieldwork carried out in Himachal Pradesh in 2013 [Di Maio] identifies a cactus plant producing a large white flower, which shares morphological traits and traditional usage with Echinopsis Pachanoi, a plant not identified by local botanical surveys carried out in the region and not recorded in scientific literature to grow in Asia. This paper reports preliminary findings and forumlates an hypotesis that if true, could mean that the identification of Echinopsis Pachanoi in this locality, or a very closely related plant would be documented for the first time. Given that Echinopsis Pachanoi is well known in the Andes for being used in divination and other shamanic rituals, and if the findings are confirmed, could this be the plant from which the Soma drink referenced in the vedic literature is extracted? Motivation Kamand Valley, Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh - India A survey was carried out om the Kamand, in Mandi District to assess the environmetal impact of a new IIT Mandi campus [Sawhey]. Among other species, the survey identified a plant with potential properties of value, Euphorbia Royleana. In comparing the survey results with notes from related fieldwork, it was noted that Euphorbia Royeleana produces small yellow flower, however visual inspections of the field had revealed sporadic presence of large white flowers on top of some of the cacti looking plants.
