2 Pots, Same Cacti

Post by Tom Roach »

Got this from Mom years ago and thought I had killed it one winter.
I cut off what was still alive, healed them over and threw them in a pot.
Then what I thought had died came back.
Has never bloomed.

Hope these photos might be good enough?

TIA

Echinocereus sp. (but I might be wrong)

I was also thinking Echinocereus. Alternatively, perhaps Carnegiea or Pachycereus.

Echinocereus for certain. The first picture made me think E. pentalophus, but the second picture shoots that idea into the ground. Probably an Echinocereus coccineus or triglochidiatus form.

Happy growing!

There is always one more glochid. Somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestions.

One of them ate an insect.
