Weingartia cacti belong to my favorites. Natural habitat of Weingartia species is located in Bolivia mountains. However, Weingartia neumanniana occurs near the border between Bolivia and Argentina in both countries.

There are two subgroups of Weingartia.
One of them which is often called Cumingia can be found at North from Potosi. These plants grow on rivers banks in a warm environment.

The other subgroup is called Weingartia and can be found at South from Potosi. Just a few kilometers at South from Potosi, near the village Cuchu Ingenio, we can find the first Weingartia westii. The typical plant for this subgroup is Weingartia fidaiana. These plants grow in high mountains. Weingartia fidaiana and Weingartia westii grow - at the altitude of 3 000 m and higher, Weingartia pygmaea - at the altitude of 4 000 m.

During my previous two cactus adventures in Bolivia, I watched such species like (starting from North of Bolivia): Weingartia pulquinensis, Weingartia platygona (hediniana), Weingartia neocumingii, Weingartia sucrensis.
And from Potosi to Villazon: Weingartia westii, Weingartia fidaiana, Weingartia kargliana, Weingartia pygmaea, Weingartia neumanniana.

Now I would like to invite you to watch all these plants at my photos.
