Comments / Commentaires

Collected in 2005 at an altitude of only 1050 metres in Michoacan, Mexico, by Thierry Lamant. It is so sensitive to frost that it has been cut back to ground level every winter until recently. The roots are not killed, so every year it reappears, but this is the largest it has ever been, and sadly the largest it is ever likely to be.
