What a collection! And it sounds like you have still more on the way?

All of them are just spectacular, Bruno. I too am curious about number 5. Cool little plant!

I love the schmollii too.

Beautiful plants as always Bruno. Not sure the last is berlandieri, which has no white center to the flowers, or the very slightest white at the base of the tepals. The flowers look a bit like pentalophus on your plant.

That' s correct Peter, the label says berlandieri sb1023, the field nr query says

Field number: SB 1023
Collector: Steven (Steve) Brack
Species: Echinocereus berlandieri
Locality: Jim Hogg County, Texas, USA
Altitude:
Date:
Notes: = E. pentalophus v. procumbens previous list

what "previous list" does mean here?

The flower of true berlandieri looks great, thanks for posting :)

Bruno,
nice.
those are lovely flowers you got on your lovely Echinocereus.

I liked the one with the little red flowers the most. IT's different :)
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
