Im suprized its survives there, I sent a coupla stems to Bill a few years ago and they failed, maybe you need to try that one again Bill, or have you already?

Thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot coming from all of you!

There are actually two clones growing side by side. The largest clone if my poor addled memory serves me right (as it does on occasion) has been growing for seven years now. It gives a little better flower display. The second clone is four years old it grows longer more densely spined branches than the first. The flowers of both are identical.

I will post a shot of the pads when I get home today.

Here are those pictures I promised! I'm not sure how many clones are reprsented. Dave may remember. I feel at least three. The first, second and third seem to be differant clones the fourth looks a lot like the first one.

Thanks for the pics, so it kinda looks like there could be some polyacantha in one or two of those to me. Would help explain the larger flower.John P Weiser wrote:AndyAndy_CT wrote:John, that devil's tower fragilis has an interesting flower, Do you have a picture of the pads?

Well here are the updated shots of the Cylindropuntia spinosior.
Echinocereus reichenbachii var. baileyi.
Echinocereus caespitosus.
I thought I'd show the differances between my two clones of Cylindro. spinosior.
Here are the cup shaped flowers and shorter spines of the first clone.
These next are of a wide open blossom and denser spineage or the second clone.Spineage is a word isn't it??'
