GREETING CARD:
“Black Lace Cactus (Echinocereus reichenbachii var. albertii)" is an endangered plant and part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.
SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Chris Best, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
"Black lace cactus thrives in the arid, subtropical Tamaulipan shrublands of South Texas. The succulent, columnar stems stand ankle-high among spiny tasajillo and salt-tolerant saladillo and tornillo. Vertical ribs sport rows of blunt tubercles, each crowned with black-tipped radial spines. Its closest relative is Fitch’s rainbow cactus (Echinocereus fitchii ssp. fitchii); both bear large, pink flowers with deep magenta centers, and both occur in nearly barren, saline, gypsum-rich soils. Another close relative, lace cactus (E. reichenbachii ssp. caespitosus), grows on limestone of the Edwards Plateau. Black lace cactus is compatible with livestock grazing but is threatened by root-plowing and surface mining."
