Duripulpa and friend
Some fairly typical E. duripulpa seedlings, plus one that isn't typical. Doesn't remind me of any other species though, so maybe just a bit weird.

Re: Duripupla and friend
There is quite a bit of variety throughout the seedlings but one has gone to extremes.

Re: Duripupla and friend
Well it's different looking for sure, but it still looks like a Thelocephala of some kind. 
Maybe it is duripulpa, but a super-fat seedling? My other thoughts are perhaps something more in the region of aerocarpa, but I'm not sure. It'll be interesting to see how it develops.

Cuckoo seedling!
He is still very sweet, even though he is not what it says on the tin. Are they your own seed Ian?

Re: Duripulpa and friend
Maybe just a precocious seedling that has assumed the adult form before the other seedlings? Wait and see if the others look like that as they mature.
They don't look quite so woolly in habitat:-

Re: Duripulpa and friend
Did you work out what had happened here? I've come to repot these (below) and finally got round to investigating what the other thing was. I'd assumed that I'd spilled seed and it was only after I'd dug out my 'seedling map' - the piece of paper that tells me what I've sown in which cell - that I've realised it isn't any of the other Eriosyce that were sown in that tray. In the course of checking the forum for good images of Eriosyce seedlings I found this thread...

Re: Duripulpa and friend
I'm none the wiser today. It seems very much like an extremely fat and short E. duripulpa.

Re: Duripulpa and friend
A lot of seedlings can be dimorphic, looking very different as they age and gain their adult characteristics. Some are just more precocious than the others. Turbinicarpus krainzianus ssp. minimus for instance.
