So last week I went for a walk in the mountains near my town, and I found a wild (and isolated) san pedro population. Im super enthusiastic whit this because I think they might be related to scopolicola (I live near the region wher scops seeds where originally collected),
They are quite big, around 20 cm of diameter for the bigest and up to 10 m tall for some of them.
I share some pictures of them, living betweem bromeliads and orchids at 1500 msnm.
Some are spiny and some are totally spinless.
I'm gonna try to collect some seeds next season (february 2027)
What do you think about this fenotipe?
Best vibes form South Bolivia!

That log in the last pic is dope
Whoa thats awesome! They do look scopy. Its cool to see photos of them in their native habitat. I especially like the last photo, that one also seems the most scop like to me.
Amazing, never thought I’d see algaw on a perdectly healthy san pedro with no roots wow.
Thats wild
So cool! Take me for a walk where we can find stuff like this lol and sign me up for seeds bro, DM or add me to a list. I’d be interested
That second to last photo in the shade is also great – really shows how varied the habitats can be. Everyone acts like cactus are desert-only plants, but just because they can live there doesn’t mean they have to.
The lichen on the last picture is amazing. I wish I could see that here where I live. We just get lichen on rocks.
The last picture looks like scopulicola which is supposed to be extinct in the wild…
