Growers Notes... New Species or Not??

Lophophora Williamsii
var. Camargo

Lophophora Williamsii var. Camargo comes from what is possibly the northern most locality of Williamsii plants within Mexico, found just outside the city of Camargo, in the state of Chihuahua Mexico. Plants are said to be found on limestone hills with volcanic rock prevailing. This is a real nice variation of Lophophora growing a little slower than some variations but with a nice light bluish gray ash tone to its skin as can be seen in the photo below. Very hardy and self pollinating as it is of the northern variation of Lophophora Williamsii. It is one of my newest experimental plantings so an abundance of photos are yet to come.
