My offset from a selection Greg Starr used to grow...starting to look good! Pot is too small I think.

Hello,
My wife and I are on a photo expedition down in Sonora and I would love to find some Zebras to photograph? Do you know where this photo was taken? We came across some incredible Trichocereus tershekii outside of Puerto Lobos today that were in full bloom!
Best,
Shawn

Progress on @agavegreg's special. This one has rooted nicely after the move and seems happy enough...needs to offset!
