In this episode we return to Hidalgo State Mexico to film a very unique habitat where tall columnar cacti (Cephalocereus senilis) grow next to weeping pinion pines. The geology here is also unusual, where a much younger lava flow cooled into columns on top of much older calcareous shale.

Machaonia coulteri (Rubiaceae)
Turnera diffusa (Passifloraceae)
Hibiscus coulteri (Malvaceae)
Decatropis bicolor (Rutaceae)
Lantana canescens
Salvia podadena
Croton incanus
Painteria elachistophylla
Cyphomeris gypsophyloides
Leucophyllum ambiguum
Lantana camara
Echinofossulocactus dichroacanthus
Cephalocereus senilis

Pinus cembroides
Sedum corynephyllum

Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
