On 26 October 2019, a Cactus garden Photo Walk was held at the Cactus Garden located in Panchkula, Haryana, India. This was a first Local Guide Meetup in Panchkula. This is Asia’s largest cactus garden which is in India. It was established in 1987 and is known for its rare and endangered species of Indian succulent plants.
It was a very good meetup and we clicked many photos of the flora and fauna of the Cactus garden. The garden has a comprehensive collection of Indian succulents, the largest in the world, some of them extremely rare and has already been declared as endangered species, which includes a complete collection of Genus Caralluma of Indian origin. The garden is home to three greenhouses. The cacti and succulents are also known to have medicinal values since Indian succulents are being used in Ayurveda and Unani medicines for centuries. It is a great source of attraction for not only tourists but also for botanists.
We used the Google lens to detect the cactus species and its name.
