After many previous miles, miles2go, rescue in Miles Anderson´s cactus nursery! (In my little report I have the artistic freedom of the author broader something . . . So do not pay attention to the date stamp ) Every great journey begins with a first small step - or with a good breakfast! 91233 The civilization is soon behind me. . . 91243 91260 The cactus in the desert seem, at first glance, a bit scruffy. . . 91269 Saguaro 91279 cacti 91303 Cacti like to grow in the shade, the mimosa (Mesquite) donate it. 91281 91293 91311 91330 end of post 1/3 | |

Yes Jose, I feel the same way. Best wishes K.W. Good morning dear cacti friends, today the last part of my trip to the Saguaro National Park. From Tucson westward, towards the mountains, on the Speedway Blvd 91245 Then it continues on the W.Gates Pass Rd., the name says it all. . . If you have left the pass it looks like that 91251 If one now turns to the N.Kinney Rd., To get to the Arizona-Sonora Desert-Museum. . . that´s not the museum 91260 but the way to Red Hills Visitor Center, the "office" from Saguaro National Park 91265 91410 these are the Red Hills 91277 and now some desert plants, mainly cacti. . . 91284 Then I realized, as the arms come to the Saguaros. . . 91286 end of post 1/3 | |

| Those were great. Many thanks. I really enjoyed the northern Saguaro NP, with the mountains and being up close to it all. Did you get to go up to Ironwood National Forest while you were there? To see Echinocactus horizonthalonius v. nicholii, and Ferocactus chrysanthus (together with wislizenius). _________________ Chris43, moderator

| What a great thing to find a cactus show there, apart from the year round show in the actual Garden! The Central Arizona C&SS has been going for many years, and they publish a monthly newsletter. Just occasionally it gives very interesting information on where specific plants can be seen in habitat, so worth a check from time to time on their website.
And nice to see the art. I guess its the same Chiluly as when I was there in 2009. Quite amazing glass sculptures. _________________ Chris43, moderator
