A few explanations before starting to tell our travel adventures.
We are not botanists, but only great enthusiasts: this is why we asked competent people to help us in identifying some specimens ... hoping that everything is correct.
We had to summarize the stories a bit otherwise they could be boring and long.
The list of plants on site is deliberately condensed because inserting the many varieties encountered (some genera having a large range can be said to be omnipresent) would be too dispersive.
The photos are all ours, in case some of our travel companions are published it will be specified.
It is with great pleasure that we take part in our collaboration with Dr. Pilbeam in his latest work: Mammillaria - Now & Again.
This work incorporates its legendary monograph on the Mammillaria species, integrating it with the new discoveries made in recent years.
We would like to thank him for using many of our photos (we show below some examples) and for the honor of having a copy of it, with his thanks, autographed:
ps: the book can also be purchased on the website of the friend Rastelli that you find under the section Link web
