Echinocereus ID?
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

Echinocereus enneacanthus.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8

Re: Echinocereus ID?
Thanks, that actually makes sense. This is the Echinocereus that sometimes goes by E. conglomeratus or E. stramineus var. conglomeratus in the trade, an invalid nomen.

This can be Echinocereus stramineus as well. Even I found a synonym Echinocereus enneacanthus var. stramineus.
Both species have similar distribution in USA and Mexico. But number of ribs 10 - 13 leads us to E. stramineus; and 7 - 10 should be a feature of E. enneacanthus. Pick which you like.

That is enneacanthus, to ribs counting needed. They are hard to mix up once you've seen both.
When larger it keeps spreading, not clumping up as stramineus would, gets several feet wide but stays low.
Mixing enneacanthis with stramieus in same species is kinda weird,that is I believe enneacantus is coming from penthalophus lineage.
