Amarillo stuff

Post by igor.glukhovtsev » Fri Nov 23, 2012 11:00 am

It has been taken a while before I was finding the succulents growing in Amarillo. It was not easy but I made it looks easy...

Cacti first? but I recognized the Cholla cactus only. There are some oputia too. Would appreciated to know the species exact names. Collected "the figs" for sure.

Yucca plants. I'm not sure about so called "elata" but I tried at least

Other stuff:

Dasilirion texensis?

Have no idea what's a ... it is.

looks like Aaron did a great job ID-ing those plants.

This one reminds me of a western Mahonia

it's hard to ID without a close up photo.......sure looks like it could be a Dasyilirion..........perhaps D. wheeleri too?

Glad you had time to see plants. Did you also get to eat at the Big Texan Steakhouse?

Ok... that looks more like Dasylirion wheeleri to me. Did it have teeth on the leaf edges? :)

Yes, Aaron, it has. I have D.wheeleri from a garden center and it is green but the plant on the pic is grey! Does this species have a such color variation?

Sorry for asking but you didn't comment a cactus with no spines on it... Any ideas?

The western mahonia - I don/t think it is mahonia. This particular plant leaves are soft ones.

I had a chance collecting the desert willow seeds up there. How they should be germinated? And the acorns belonging to some elegant oak tree with purple fall leaves...

Most of the D. wheeleri here are sold with the blue/grey form.

I don't know what the one without spines is?

I don't know if I have ever strated desert willow seeds. :?

Hi Igor,

I tried some desert willow trees this spring. Easy to germinate. I covered the seed with a 1/4" (0.3 cm) of soil and kept them at room temperature.
