He is a &#8220;tattoo artist&#8221; but also a photographer. He is a great fan of succulent plants and, as he himself says: &#8220;<em>I spend much of my free time roaming the desert (mostly Anza-Borrego or Joshua Tree) taking photos and studying the plants&#8221;. <\/em>The photos I post in this series of posts were taken by Ben in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parks.ca.gov\/?page_id=638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Anza-Borrego Desert State Park<\/strong><\/a> in Southern California. The park extends over a large desert area (over 240,000 hectares), particularly in eastern San Diego County, with some areas in Imperial and Riverside counties.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start these reports with a truly remarkable species: <em>Echinocactus polycephalus<\/em>, undoubtedly the rarest <em>Echinocactus<\/em>, slower in terms of growth, and more difficult to cultivate. Compared to its &#8220;cousins&#8221; <em>grusonii, platyacanthus, texensis<\/em> and <em>parryi<\/em>, the <em>polycephalus<\/em> is less known and cultivated, also due to its particular needs in terms of irrigation (here in Europe it is advisable to wet the <em>polycephalus<\/em> at the end of winter, in January and February, and suspend irrigation in the hottest months).<\/p>\n<p>In its typical form, <em>Echinocactus polycephalus<\/em> may appear similar to <em>E. parryi<\/em> at first glance, but if you observe the two species carefully the differences emerge clearly. <em>E. polycephalus<\/em>, moreover, with time shows its marked tendency to bunch up (from which the name given to the species derives) and has thorns characterized by a color that from red tends with age to pink and then to greyish. This applies to the type species, which grows in southern Arizona and, a few kilometers further west, in eastern California. Further north, in Arizona, the <em>xeranthemoides<\/em> variant thrives, characterized by yellow spines and a more glossy surface than those of the type-species.<\/p>\n<p>In the next posts, the reportage will continue with habitat images of <em>Ferocactus, Echinocereus<\/em> and a mix of other succulents, as well as breathtaking views.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that, beyond the indisputable beauty of the images and landscapes, Ben&#8217;s photos can be of help to many growers, especially those who are passionate about &#8220;wild&#8221; cultivation, that is the technique that aims to reproduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/ilfioretralespine.it\/en\/cacti-soil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>soils <\/strong><\/a>as well as the general living conditions the plants have in their habitat.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to Ben Grillo for his collaboration, I take the opportunity to report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/backyard92057\/?hl=it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>his interesting Instagram profile<\/strong><\/a>, where you can find photos of plants from his collection and images taken during his travels.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #008000;\"><strong>\u00a0SUBSCRIBE TO THE SITE\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; If you liked this article, subscribe to the site to have access to all the contents for one year or three months depending on the formula you choose. <a href=\"https:\/\/ilfioretralespine.it\/en\/myshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Here you will find terms and conditions<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #008000;\">\u00a0SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWSLETTER\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; If you want to receive the <strong>free newsletter<\/strong> every time new content is published (even if you have not subscribed to the site), <a href=\"https:\/\/ilfioretralespine.it\/en\/subscribe-to-the-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>fill in the fields at this link!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em><strong>\u00a9 The texts, videos, photos and graphic elaborations of the site &#8220;Il fiore tra le spine&#8221; are original material and are covered by copyright.
