I don't have many Echinocereus, this one flowered from a packet of mixed Echinocereus seed. The third one, I suspect, is also from seed, but the middle one is a bought plant.

I did find that I picked a couple up at the North West Cactus Mart recently.

I have combed through my archive of digi photos for this genus and offer a few posts with a representative selection of the genus.
Starting with some of the smaller flowered ones :
Echinocereus davisii - smallest of the genus
Echinocereus davisii - smallest of the genus
This one had a damaged crown so has clustered rather heavily. The flowers are noticeably citrus scented.

Next a couple of forms of E. viridiflorus :
Echinocereus viridiflorus ssp. montanus
Echinocereus viridiflorus ssp. montanus
Echinocereus milleri HK370
Echinocereus milleri HK370
Finally the nice dark brown flowers of Echinocereus russanthus :
