A species from Tamaulipas state of Mexico. An easy to grow species that forms large, silvery-scurfy rosettes. Oddly, the offsets come off with soft, glabrous leaves, developing the scurfy appearance that protects them from the sun, as they mature. The narrow, spiny leaves are rather soft (for a Hechtia) and the tips naturally die back and curl.

A widespread species that is found in many habitats from south Texas to Guatemala. This one has narrow green leaves with small sharp spines. The foliage is covered with white trichomes on the underside of the leaves. There is a noticeable leaf imprint on the underside of the leaf.  We have not seen it bloom yet. This clone comes from Queretaro, Mexico, and was collected by Andy Siekkenen and carries his accession number: AS047.

A silver plant that we acquired from Selby Gardens as Hechtia argentia. After the plant bloomed for us bloom for us it was obvious that it is not Hechtia argentia. This plant takes on an odd light-blue cast in full sun. The mother plant of this was 25 inches across.
Plant outstanding as usual! But the packaging was beyond belief! Must have taken an hour to get all the styrofoam peanuts in without damaging one leaf! Outstanding thanks to your crew for their excellent work and service!
Very nice little plant. Many thanks!
