Hi all,

I'm new to SE Arizona and I have some Cacti in my yard I can't identify. Can you help me out with scientific names please?

Too bad you missed the flowers, would have helped nail down the ID - and they would have been spectacular.

Thanks so much. I'll try to catch the flowers next year. When's the season? Early summer?

Spring to early summer for the Echinocereus, Escobaria vivipara can bloom from spring to late summer - so keep an eye on it.
