Thisone (apparently Echinocereus ferreirianaus ssp lindsayi) is now getting sold quite a bit in California, grafted . Quite a beuaty, and if you look at the right flower, apparently tasty also.

Those are nice. I need to hurry and plant the seed I just got.

I wonder why they are being grafted? (besides the obvious) They seem fine on their own roots.

Great flowers!

The spination of plants on their own roots is much more fierce and tightly interlocking. I agree with Darryl, fairly straightforward Echinocereus on its own roots.

This plant is nearly extinct in the wild due to the publication of the type locale and it's accessibility to Mexico 1. Apparently there's a second population somewhere.

Yes, so I've read and that locale is not being disclosed!
