Lophocereus schottii (occurs in NW Mexico and southern Arizona) forms an obligate mutualistic association with a pyralid moth (Upiga virescens), in which the moth pollinates the flower and eats the fruit.

The Columnar Trifecta: Left - saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) Middle - organ pipe (Stenocereus thurberi) Right - senita (Pachycereus schottii) Organ Pipe National Monument is the only place in the US where you can see these three cacti growing in sympatry in the wild. The organ pipe and the senita are largely Mexican cacti that barely make their way into southern Arizona. Any farther north and frosts kill them off. Even right here on the Mexican border you can see signs of frost damage on the senita. It was an incredible day of botanizing to say the least! #cacti #cactaceae #botany #botanizing #plants #sonorandesert #Sonora #organpipenationalmonument #organpipecactus #saguaro #succulents #nativeplants #desert #desertplants #Arizona #ecology #biodiversity #mexico #mexicanborder #hiking #mountains #senitacactus #carnegiea #stenocereus #pachycereus
