T.pachnoi might be even more common in the bay area than C. repandus and look alikes.

You have any peyote Cactus going? Have you seen the guy on Youtube who finds- just to look- them in Texas? "Crime pays,but botany doesn't" channel.

If I had some Lophobilly going at one time, Stan, I couldn't tell you. And even if I could, the chipmunks have long since done for that little collection. Cute little wreckers of potted plants.

I'll look for him! I have a few FB friends in Mexico who regularly visit the habitats of Lophophora and other cryptic cacti - they'd be mind-blowing in more ways than one to witness them in habitat personally.
