Williamsii v. Texenis

Williamsii Texenis Variety

From the moment we planted the seed that grew into this plump Lophophora its size and fast growth was exceptional. The seed was purchased from a reputable grower in Europe in 2002 and planted the same year. The plant is now approximately a third larger than other plants germinated the same year and now measures 6.5cm in diameter! The blooms of this proflific plant are slightly longer than typical Williamsii. If you have Texenis variety or knowledge about them we'd like to hear from you since we still have lots to learn. First flowered in 2008.
