Great plants!! The picture you have labeled as E.fendleri looks more like E.triglochidiatus.


E.fendleri usually have purple flowers.

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

They're all superb but the real surprise standout for me is the orange triglochidiatus with that "sunburst" effect going on!

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
