  • Welcome to the cactus quest channel
    in todays episode I team up with Rob Romero and a cactus collector who has been interested in the peculiar genus of cacti for sometime. Just my luck because with out his help I may not have found the plants at all.
    Here is an article about the 2000 year old seed

    HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT DUDE. I love Sclerocactus so it's great to finally see them get some love. Great species too, hopefully I can get my hands on some seed soon.

    Fantastic camouflage! Great to see this species in it's natural habitat. One of my all-time favourites. I've always found the seeds difficult to germinate - I've tried a few 'tricks' but only ever managed to get two to sprout. They're still going strong though 😀. Anyway, thanks for sharing - loving these videos!

    Those ants are called "harvester ants" and they love seeds. they also harvest lots of grass seeds and you can see the hulls outside of their ground nests.

    Did any of the fruit "accidentally" make it back home. Maybe got stuck in a backpack.

    Hey guys could you please change the intro a little. It's too much flashing lights. I love the channel but it's really difficult to watch every time :( I'm sorry but please reconsider!
