Come Along for the Journey


Every remarkable plant has a homeland.

CURRENT EXPEDITION:

ARGENTINA


Join photographer and explorer Vincent as he travels to the deserts, mountains, islands, and remote landscapes where many of the world's most extraordinary cacti, euphorbias, and other succulents first evolved.

From the high Andes of Argentina to the deserts of Mexico, the spiny forests of Madagascar, the Richtersveld of South Africa, Socotra, Brazil, Namibia, and beyond, these field journals explore the people, landscapes, wildlife, culture, and remarkable plants that make each destination unique.

This is more than a travel journal. It is an ongoing exploration of the places that shaped the remarkable plants we admire and collect.

Then farther south if I can figure it out. Possibly Patagonia. Possibly hypothermia. Hard to say this early. Every time I look at the map screen I get more excited....
