lovely!
With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to

Re: Random Echinocereus flowers
is the one you think E. fasciculatus E. boyce-thompsonii maybe?
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
Re: Random Echinocereus flowers
Peter-The Echinocereus you mention was salvaged from the southern foothills of the Tortolita Mountains. That's northern Tucson, or more specifically, Marana. I guess it could be boyce-thompsonii, if the species ranges that far south.

Re: Random Echinocereus flowers
Those are some very nice specimens. As a big fan of the genus Echinocereus I am always surprised at the many species that are present. I just went ahead and bought two plants, one of which is an Echinocereus. The skinny stemmed plant produces a pink flower and supposedly is native to southern Texas. The person from Rio Grande Nursery selling these cacti did not know the scientific name. Probably it used to be called a "Wilcoxia" in the past.
The two favorite plants thus far for me are the E. dasyacanthus var. rectispinus and the E. rayonesensis. Got to love them!

Re: Random Echinocereus flowers
Lookin' good, Darryl. Thanks for the link.
Re: Random Echinocereus flowers
Harald, sounds like Echinocereus poselgeri.
Darryl, the SB850 looks great! It seems more in the trigloch group than the coccineus group. I'd love to see some more photos of it.
