Re: peterb's 2014
Peter, is there a possibility that phyllacanthus violaciflorus is an Echinofossulocactus crispatus? Kind of looks like it to me.
Re: peterb's 2014
maybe! Echinofossulocactus can be devilishly hard to ID with 100% certainty. I bought the plant from Brack, however, at the NM C and S Society show and sale about 9 years ago, and his names are usually good. It looks like there are a few different spine forms, ranging from wildly long (sometimes called 'grandicornis') to stubby and short like this one. If there's a genus in Mexico in need of a monograph, I'd vote for Echinofossulocactus. What a mess!

Re: peterb's 2014
I would have said with spination like that. That Thelo is more than likely T. Rinconensis
T. Hexadraphorus is more of a cactus splat !
I used to love Echinocereus Lauii. Such big flowers and self fertile me thinks. I used to grow it all the time but unfortunately don't have any left now. Not since I left my olds flat in 2000

Re: peterb's 2014
Thanks for the id, rinconensis it is. E. laui is a great plant for sure. I will keep my eye out for seeds this year and try some next year.

Re: peterb's 2014
I like the Echinofossulocactus which would you say has the best flowers?

Re: peterb's 2014
I've been impressed by ochoterenaus so far. I like the yellow flowers of vaupelianus also.

Re: peterb's 2014
Love those cold weather cacti.
Re: peterb's 2014
The plant in the last photo is Fouquieria columnaris, aka cirio or boojum. It is at least 13 years old and extremely slow in the pot. It would be growing a lot more quickly in the ground.
Here's some more action.
