Thanks for the replies. Yes the spines are quite long! One of my favourite. The flowers are open for 6 day’s as well! :)

Nice to know. Having sown and had successful germination for a number of E. triglochidiatus ssps. From the BCSS Seed list this year, at the age of 54 there’s a chance only my kids might see them flowering! Lol

This one lost its label many moons ago. Your guess is as good as mine.

All I can say is that this (must be 40 years or more) has never flowered as much as this year.

We grow plants ..... don't we .... not labels.
Nice looking plant. It would be great to know what the trigger was for such a performance.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
