Given the variability this population is likely some sort of hybrid swarm. Or the local distinct form that is geting desolved back into the main pool.

Oh and what is Cave Creek for the picture taken locality?
Fish Creek is the well-known place for who looks for this plant, do not know what is the closest place people live there.

My heavens - those spines are stupendous!
Would love to have some seed from them.
