Visiting Death Valley in 2021 was a disappointment compared to 2020, but there were some die-hard plants still flowering despite the dryness of the year. Phacelia crenulata was one of the few we saw, thriving at the edge of roads where the asphalt sheds water and can help keep it from evaporating as quickly.
Phacelia, AKA scorpionweeds for the curled inflorescences they grow, is native to North and South America though Phacelia tanacetifolia is making headway as an introduced species in Europe.
The scorpion-tail cymes of P. crenulata’s purple flowers mature into capsules full of orange-brown seeds which will hang out in the soil for as long as half a decade waiting for decent conditions to germinate and grow for a year – an endurance which may be necessary in the arid climates to which they are native. I took some seed heads home to photograph and grow, but so far I haven’t gotten them as large as they were growing even in that dry year!

The Surprising Diversity of Mammillaria Cacti: Unusual Shapes and Sizes
Mammillaria cacti, often hailed as the jewels of the desert, stand out for their remarkable diversity in shapes and sizes. From petite globular forms to elongated columns, these fascinating succulents captivate enthusiasts with their extraordinary variety. In this blog, we delve into the surprising diversity of Mammillaria cacti, shedding light on their unusual shapes and sizes.
Understanding Mammillaria Cacti:
Mammillaria is one of the largest genera in the Cactaceae family, boasting over 200 recognized species. Originating primarily from Mexico and adjacent regions of the Americas, these cacti thrive in arid environments, showcasing an array of adaptations for survival in harsh conditions. Despite belonging to the same genus, Mammillaria species exhibit striking differences in morphology, making each species a unique spectacle to behold.
Variety in Shapes:
One of the most intriguing aspects of Mammillaria cacti is their diverse range of shapes. From the spherical Mammillaria bocasana to the cylindrical Mammillaria elongata, these plants come in an assortment of forms that appeal to collectors and hobbyists alike. Some species, such as Mammillaria vetula subsp. gracilis 'Arizona Snowcap,' feature distinctive clustering habits, forming intricate mounds of densely packed stems. Others, like Mammillaria spinosissima, boast elongated tubercles adorned with fine spines, adding to their visual allure.
Exploring Sizes:
In addition to their varied shapes, Mammillaria cacti also exhibit a broad spectrum of sizes. While some species remain diminutive, with individual stems measuring only a few centimeters in diameter, others can grow into sizable clumps or columns reaching several feet in height. For example, Mammillaria hahniana, commonly known as the Old Lady Cactus, forms compact rosettes of fuzzy stems that stay relatively small, making it an ideal choice for windowsill gardens and small spaces. On the other hand, species like Mammillaria magnimamma can develop into imposing columns adorned with a crown of vibrant flowers, commanding attention in any landscape or collection.
Cultural Significance:
Beyond their ornamental value, Mammillaria cacti hold cultural significance for indigenous communities across their native range. These plants have been used traditionally for various purposes, including food, medicine, and religious ceremonies. For instance, the fruits of certain Mammillaria species are edible and rich in nutrients, providing a valuable source of sustenance in arid environments. Additionally, extracts from certain Mammillaria species have been employed in traditional medicine for their purported healing properties, highlighting the cultural importance of these plants in indigenous healing practices.
In conclusion, the diverse world of Mammillaria cacti never ceases to amaze with its array of shapes and sizes. From compact globes to towering columns, these plants offer endless possibilities for collectors, gardeners, and enthusiasts alike. Whether you're drawn to their striking aesthetics or intrigued by their cultural significance, Mammillaria cacti are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Join me for an epic overland adventure to Coyote Creek in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, in eastern San Diego county, Southern California. This is one of the most pristine and beautiful desert wilderness areas I have ever seen, and is only accessible beyond the first few miles by high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles. The northernmost area of Borrego Springs is the entry point to Coyote Canyon for vehicle traffic, and the winter wildflowers are starting to bloom over the open fields.
