This was a little further down the road, but the same area.

Re: Mexico January 2007 Travelogue
I'd definitely say pilosus Paul with the bright red spines and a big clump like that - nice plant.
2nd one looks very much like Turbinicarpus alonsoi.
Last one maybe Echinocereus stramineus.

This may be Thelocactus lophothele or riconensis whatever it is called now.

Re: Mexico January 2007 Travelogue
The Thelos are probably......
First one looks like conothelos ssp auriantiacus but as the main ssp of conothelus are based on flower colour its debatable if they are not just variable forms of one species
Second one appears to be bueckii but it could be a very dry and sad looking rinconensis (the form known as phymatothele) or it could be tulensis .........
No not that the tubicles are to small I will stay with bueckii or rinconensis
But to be sure I would need to know where they were taken

Paul, thanks for the reply. So Nature has been crossing things before we messed about.
