OK, number 2 was a difficult one, I know. This one should be slightly easier. One more Echinocereus, with hairy flowers, oval areoles, nice white radial spines (16-20 per areole), and probably, 1-2-3 short central spines sticking from the top of each oval.
Thank you for your help,
Andrey

Echinocereus scopulorum? I will be really amazed if my first post is a successful ID

Re: Cacti in the garden #3
Thank you! Some features are similar, I agree. The flower pubescence of this plant, though, is more dense than of any E. scopulorum from the Google search.WSUShocker wrote:Echinocereus scopulorum? I will be really amazed if my first post is a successful ID
Interesting that this species is listed by ITIS, but missing from FNA key, and from USDA and BONAP sites. SEINET maps this species to the Sonora area of Mexico. I wonder if it would survive the North Utah winter. This plant evidently does - it grows outside in the Red Butte Garden, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Re: Cacti in the garden #3
Not scopuloorum, I think this is one of the many reichenbachii forms. Oklahomensis may be? Oklahomensis is moderately frost-hardy.
