Echinocereus
Hi guys,
I was away from home for a couple of week and I found this when I got back. So I am here to share it with you.

Re: Echinocereus
Delightful!
Re: Echinocereus
Which variety is that? Sue
Re: Echinocereus
Hi guys, thank You for your nice comments. I live in central Namibia. But come from Italy, I moved here 14 years ago. Gemhunter, yes some melocactus are in between the other plants. Sue, no idea of the species. I got a small plant in a nursery, with no name. I then propagated it by cuttings, it never developed seeds. Lot of new species are germinating at the moment. I hope all goes well.

Re: Echinocereus
It is pentalophus obviously, hard to tell which form from the picture. They differ in stem size mainly.
Re: Echinocereus
And today more flowers from echinopsis I grew from seeds 10 years ago from Mesa Garden.

Re: Echinocereus
Wow! That's quite a show! Do you know what hybrid/species that is?

Re: Echinocereus
Unfortunately not. It was an echinopsis mix. I managed to grow at least 7 different types. All developed several heads, only one has a huge single head. I never saw a single seed produced.
Re: Echinocereus
Yes, That first one looks like E. Pentalophus.
