very lovely, it seems from the pictures that they grow in small clusters between the rocks, is that the case in all populations there?

Yeah that's about right, the top of Kitts Peak is mostly stone and large boulder's, and that's were they flourish. Martin

These would be arizonicus nigrihorridispinus, judging from the extra spines, generally smaller stems and longer flower tube. Love these, great photos!
