Rats - I think you've expanded my want list. Thanks, I think. Sue
Re: This weeks blooms
Great plants!! The picture you have labeled as E.fendleri looks more like E.triglochidiatus.
E.fendleri usually have purple flowers.

Re: This weeks blooms
That might actually be a hybrid as well Mark, out of the 300 echinocereus I have, a lot of them are hybrids. Martin

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

Re: This weeks blooms
They're all superb but the real surprise standout for me is the orange triglochidiatus with that "sunburst" effect going on!
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Re: This weeks blooms
I just received a triple stem Hedgehog blooming like yours fom a friends place outside Tuscon. I named it E. engelmannii, looking at yours in bloom I feel competent. She has a 16 head Hedghog in full bloom and she can smell it several meters away. I am definitely Arizona dreaming. Thanks for shaing
