Fish Creek pics. Spines are extremly variable.
Picks are a bit heavy even with 50% quality loss - too many details

Yes, I was hoping to get up the Apache Trail and along 60 from Superior to Miami/Globe this spring but had too many Echinomastus visits to attend to. I see the fasciculatus characters in the flower pic you posted, missed that the first time I looked at your post. I am slowly getting better at recognizing these different southern Arizona Echinocerei: engelmannii and its varieties, fasciculatus, boyce-thompsonii, bonkerae, fendleri rectispinus, polyacanthus, coccineus. I probably forgot a few. I had all the New Mexico Echinocerei down cold and then I moved.

I'm super fast!
Ha, ok actually this is just funny timing. Vlani, it just occured to me what the PM you sent me was referring to. I had asked how to list credits for these images. When the light came on in my head, I added them to the database, which happened to be nearly the same time that you noticed they were missing.
Thanks again for supplying those great shots!

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Benson considered E. apachensis to be E. boyce-thompsonii but not everyone does. Of course not everyone thinks E. boyce-thompsonii even exists!
I wish I could remember what Peter Berresford said about these the last time he visited. I don't think he had a fixed opinion of where they fitted in, so perhaps it doesn't matter.
