3 species of Ferocactus growing together in Arizona
Last summer I stopped at a small range and noticed that all 3 of Arizona's Ferocactus could be observed growing in the same area. Ferocactus acanthodes, F. emoryii and F. wislizeni ajoensis were all photoed while blooming at this location.

Re: 3 species of Ferocactus growing together in Arizona
In the description of the photos you will notice some are labeled from the Antelope Mnts and S.E Maricopas. I can not find a name associated with these hills on the maps so I made up the names. I started by calling them the SE Maricopas but they seperated from the S. Maricopas. I then started calling them the Antelope Mnts since they are close to Antelope Wash.
