A lot has happened in the two decades since Trout’s cactus books went into print. Cactus lover Keeper Trout will discuss a few answers that have been learned for some rather old questions, explore some of the new questions that have been raised, and will attempt to debunk and hopefully deconstruct some popular and widely believed academic mythology. We will also talk about some exciting developments in the world of psychedelic cacti and plant conservation.
