Echinocereus lindsayii, this was it's first flowering last year, I have a single bud developing now and this warm weather is seeing lots of new growth the new spines are a lovely red colour as they grow.
Only one of my plants flowers this was from Bob Clayton.

ECHINOCEREUS do have lovely flowers, last time we did this I end up with some new additions to the 'wish list', always dangerous.

I agree with Tina. Red flowers of Peter's are awesome. Beautiful subjects and photography is brilliant too. Such minute attention to detail. More please. Jane O

39 photos so far, and all of them of flowering plants. Well, these two have never flowered for me but it seems a shame to exclude them just for that.

I dont want to be accused of hogging the Genus of the Month.......

@Dave W - spookily Dave my E. apachensis has just decided to bloom for the first time as well. A very nice plant indeed, particularly as it doesnt seem all that common at the moment.

I also had to share this one, given my previous stated keenness on the polyacanthus group. This one is E. acifer and the great and the good have now separated this as a good species. It is very similar to the other polys : the flower tube is on the shorter side but the flowers are larger.
