JohnP, the lemon gem is the lighter yellow of the two, but the little monk is a smaller plant and m...

Do not forget your camera! We have certain expections of you, Daiv (in my best Moses voice), when you visit Johns garden.

Hi Charles I call that mystery E trigloc, E coccineus v. paucispinus. That flower seals the deal. Ive been staring at that for 2 weeks now. It is not self fertile.

What a beauty youve got there!

Echinocereus coccineus v. paucispinus, or a hydrid of E coccineas v paucispinus and E coccineus v. rosei. I do not think it is an E trigloch, the flowers are wrong. Here is my E coccineus v. paucispinus in flower, your flower is slightly darker orange (if the colors are true in the flower shot), it ...

Do you have type locality info on this one John? Looks like it has a coccineus type flower to me.

Hi cactiheads, I went back down to the Picketwire today and hiked about 8 miles. The wildflowers were looking mighty sweet, they have had some rain there recently. The cacti are looking ready to bust, lots of buds, and a few open flowers on the prickly pears. Open flowers were found on south facing ...

Geez man, what a show!! Are there any cacti in there? I guess well see in June...... :lol: I cant wait to come for a beer. And ill even buy. You better quite it with those wild flowers, or ill report you to 'Victory Garden' and youll have to tour a bunch of stuffy brits. :roll: :lol: All jokes and B...
