0 Evil Genius Posted April 4, 2014 Beautiful Echinocereus! You can create awesome hybrids with them. Some of my favorites! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Philocacti Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks EG So even the globular cluster is echinocereus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 4, 2014 No, i think thats Ferocactus! They are wonderful plants and it will love your climate! They flower fantastically and you can create intergeneric hybrids with a lot of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Philocacti Posted April 4, 2014 That's great, cuz I already have a ferocactus but another species..... Looks like a pineapple and produces yellow flowers with a red center and it's self fertile ;) Here it is 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Philocacti Posted April 4, 2014 Once it produces fruits, I can send you lots of seeds but usually this happens by mid summer ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted April 4, 2014 Definitely Echinocereus. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Philocacti Posted April 7, 2014 Micheal which one are you referring to or are you talking about the 2 in the first post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 hostilis Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) kinda looks like Echinocereus pentalophus. Edit: after looking at pictures of E. pentalophus flowers I'm 90% sure that's E. pentalophus. Nice plant. (First plant) Edited April 7, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 7, 2014 I'm sure he meant the first one! Last pic is ferocactus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted April 7, 2014 Opps, yeah, I just meant the first two. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Philocacti Posted April 8, 2014 So you all agree that the 1st one is echinocereus. But the second one is still not agreed upon. So maybe if it sets flowers it'll make it easier to ID. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like either echinocactus or ferocactus to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 8, 2014 Lol, it IS a ferocactus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Philocacti Posted April 8, 2014 Hahahahaha ok I'll try to cross it to my ferocactus if it flowers this season ;) Thanks a lot for your help fellow cactophiles, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted April 9, 2014 The other is definitely Ferocactus, but I wouldn't argue over species until quite a bit more mature. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
