Hmmm....not saying yes or no just yet...the diversity of succulent plants in central Baja is amazing. Care to elucidate?

Pompano...Like you said the diversity in Baja is amazing. The boojams and Cardons are my favorites. There is even an epiphitic tillandsia called ball moss..Can't forget the Agave tequilliensis....beautiful blue color that produces most of the tequilla brands.

Now that's a Cardon! One of the first times driving all the way down to Cabo from San Clemente in 1980 I was amazed that every valley had a different landscape. So much awesome flora and fauna in Baja!

That's easy


The flower of the agave, which does not appear all that often. The question is if any of the stuff that has been shown can be smoked?
