Found a cool fault with shear indicators.

First Photo: Best wide angle with fault visible near the bottom.

Second photo: Hanging wall, more brittle with right lateral shear sense.

Third Photo: foot wall, Mylonitic, deep crustal rocks.

Fourth Photo: Close up of foot wall with left lateral shear sense.

I'm just an amateur though so let me know if I got anything wrong.

This guy is about 2.5 years on from the graft.

Coryphantha elephantidens with almost all white flowers. Just a bit of pink left on the tips.

Pretty cool it has the only colored day time flowers in the genus that I know of.

E. Pentalophus v. dwarf monstrose grafted onto E. pachanoi. Original seedling in the second photo.

This beauty has not only been selected for flower size, shape and color but also its flower count (how many flowers it produces at once) and the fact that it will flush multiple times through the warm season. Most traits such as these have as much if not more to do with the genetics of the cactus as it does with husbandry. Creator and Grower: Mark Dimmitt. (Not Me)

I'm leaning towards an alba variant of A. muscaria? ~8,000ft in the pine forests of the Catalina Mountains in Southern Arizona. It was so beautiful I didn't want to disturb it to get a gill photo.

Some of the grafts I completed last year. Including single, double and triple. Most are obesum x crispum hybrids grafted onto arabicum rootstock.

Got to watch this guy packing his midden for the winter. Pretty rowdy little ones! You can see the moment he finally spotted me. This species is critically endangered and endemic to the high forests of the Pinaleño Mountains in SE AZ.

The core of the metamorphic core complex of the Pinaleño Mountains in SE Arizona. Yes, those are Pine Trees 7,000' above the Saguaros down in the desert a few miles away.

In the Pinaleño Mountains, I looked into it a bit, I think it's S. americana f. arizonica. Pretty cool, first time seeing one.

Did you know that the wonderful authors of 'Adenium: Sculptural Elegance, Floral Extravagance' agreed to make a free digital copy available to all?!? We have the link to a complete downloadable version of the book along with other in-depth publications available at:

Just click on the photo of the book or whichever publication you wish to indulge in.

Pretty cool pegmatite with large muscovites and Almadine Garnets. It looks to have had alteration with having been near a major detachment fault. Not sure if it's brittle or ductile but I'm going with brittle.

Walking down the trail I noticed the ground change from lightish grey soils to bright red. I started looking around and found a bunch of breccia and I knew I was standing on the exposure of the Pirate Fault. I gathered some rocks of varying clast size to show the progression from large angular clast to very fine.

This year's seedlings sewn a few months ago.
