Greg Starr will take you on a journey through Baja California through the eyes of the genus Ferocactus.

Back in 2017, while tromping around in the backcountry canyons of southern Mexico, a very strange cactus was discovered. Tristian Davis will take you on this journey of discovery, and along the way, you will see some of the sights and other plants in these little-studied remote canyons.

Considered as “The Cacti of the Old World," plants in the Didiereaceae family were thought to be restricted to Madagascar, where the species are characteristic elements of the spiny forests in the southern part of the country.
