Echinocactus beauty parade

[iann]

Here are all the current Echinocactus species. Plus one if you accept E. grusonii in a separate genus. Minus one, partly because E. platyacanthus wouldn't fit in the picturer and partly because I don't have any

Top row is E. grusonii, including two double-headed white-spined plants I grew from seed.

Bottom row from left is E. horizonthalonius var subikii (weak spines, white flowers), E. horizonthalonius (stronger spines, pink flowers), E. texensis (Mexican form), E. polycephalus (out in the thunderstorm last night but still a bit shrunken), and E. parryi.

I wouldn't want to get in a fight with that E. polycephalus. A nice group you have there.

Nice. I just got a little a texenses and am looking out for a nice horizonthalonius. A very nice genre to collect and a nice collection you have.

very ilustrative!
I would like to see the same for other genera!

I'm not lining up every Mammillaria for a photo!
