The last 3 blossoms for this year. So I guess.

Echinocereus baileyi

I've bought this plant in June 2002. At this time it was only a simple stem.
Here is a image from August 2003

Rolf,
looking good, your little habitat has those plants thinking they are growing in the Sonoran Desert

Ralf,
I am surprised that they haven't started to shrivel yet for the coming winter. They are so plump!

Do you have to rebuild the rain shelter each year or can it just be set into place?

Peter, most of them are grow in the Sonoran Desert. If I've homesick to Arizona I'm only walk in my yard and have a look at my small piece of Arizona.

Till now there wasn't shrivel temperatures.

I guess they will start therewith in the coming days when the temps rapidly drop.

Build up and down every year. It's like an module principle. Designed by myself.

opps I mistyped Ralf. lolz

I assumed most of them were from the Sonoran desert

Sorry you can't walk outside you door and be in the Sonoran, however your little area looks very much like it. Actually it looks sorta like some of the Mamm exhibits at DBG in Phoenix
