Classic Cacti : An Illustrated Guide to over 150 Representative Species
by Marcus H. Schneck
Book Description: From tropical jungles to the driest deserts,
from sea level to the tops of snow-packed mountains, cacti thrive in a
multitude of environments. This wonderful, fact-filled reference introduces
150 of the most common and popular species. Each entry has a color photo
and includes information on its origins, growing season, discovery, naming,
and domestication. Take a look at the bright red flowering rat-tail cactus;
the sea urchin cactus with pale yellowish petals; and the tall saguaro--the
one you'll have seen in all those Westerns--and 147 more! Understand the
process they use to extract water in areas of limited moisture, and examine
the variety of their spines and the shapes of their flowers. See how to
care for these exotic but hardy plants, using the important details to
provide an atmosphere in which they can flourish and flower. You'll get
the secrets of successful propagation (whether by seed, soil, or grafting);
growing mediums and tools; recipes for soil mixes for particular species;
facts on watering and feeding; and careful guidance on common problems.
It's everything you need to know about cultivating cactus in the home and
garden.

Cactuses
of Big Bend National Park (Corrie
Herring Hooks Series)
by Donglas B. Evans, et al
When the cactuses bloom in Big Bend National Park, their vivid pinks
and purples, reds and yellows bring an unforgettable beauty to the rugged
Chihuahuan Desert landscape. In fact, many people visit the park just see
the cactus blossoms and the wildflowers. If you're one of them, this book
will increase your enjoyment by helping you identify the wonders at your
feet. And if you've never been to Big Bend when the cactuses are blooming,
you'll discover here what you've been missing. Douglas B. Evans describes
twelve kinds of cactus--living rock, topflower, stout-spined, hedgehog,
pineapple, button, barrel, fishhook, nipple, chollas and pricklypears,
and Texas nipple--and their individual species known to occur in the park.
Color photographs taken by Doris Evans and Ro Wauer accompany the species
descriptions. As you hike or drive through the park, you can identify most
of the cactuses you see simply by leafing through these splendid pictures
and then checking the descriptions, which indicate the cactuses' characteristic
features and habitat. To make the book even more useful, Evans also briefly
defines the parts of a cactus, explains how scientific names work, and
offers a quick introduction to the geography and ecology of Big Bend National
Park and the Chihuahuan Desert. With this information, you'll enjoy not
only seeing the cactuses of the Big Bend but also being able to tell one
from another and knowing just what makes each one special.
