Chris,
I love to see E. parryi. That seems to me to be a very uncommon plant in collections.

The neglected cousin of the Echinocacti :) Looks good, I really should try growing this one.

Very nice, I love the spines on the parryi, I don't think I've seen one of those before.

I've got some seeds of E. Parryi on the way.

I know I'm a long way off a plant your size, but have you found it requires anything special?

Thanks
