Echinocereus that thinks its a Mammillaria
Ring of flowers, anyone? This is "Echinocereus montanus", a somewhat dubious name but a prolifically flowering form.
E. davisii is a more conventional flowers-wherever form.
This is a real Mammillaria for comparison, nice ring coming but small spineless flowers. Tiny flowers today, but they'll be more showy when they get going.

Prolific indeed, and doesn't look much like an Echinocereus in form. It'll be nice to see the flowers when they appear.

Yup. My viridiflorus looks exactly like that at present.
