Echinocactus texensis
Q00-03 — Zone 7 to 10— Texas
Horse Crippler! I need not provide much of an introduction for this cactus. The large, flattened bodies with the bold erect spines have been the bane of cattleman and horse riders throughout the southwest. But, to the cactus fancier, this plant is indispensable for it ability to tolerate cold temperatures and humid, moist conditions. The flowers are pale-pink to off-white, with red centers and are followed by red, fleshy fruit which adds another dimension to this cacti's attractive nature.

Notes and observations about this plant
- A must for a cacti garden! by Lupe Cook
- I have the Horse Crippler in my cactus garden and was surprised it survived the cold & wet weather we had in '09. I live in Victoria. Indeed it has beautiful flowers. It is a must for a cacti garden. (Posted on 7/2/10)
