This looks like my M. thornberi ssb. yaquensis! I got it from Walmart couple years ago. It is dark green and has very nice flowers.

There is an article here about making your own cactus soil mix: http://cactiguide.com/article/?article=article8.php . Yours looks a bit too rich. If you don't have all ingredients, just adding 50% perlite should help. Rich and water retentive soil could be a disaster in cooler months.

Thanks,
Elena

I've got this plant from ebay, it is supposed to be Echinocereus pectinatus, but it doesn't look like one
