Ferocactus identification required
I have some plants in need of identification, two are Ferocactus and the third I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Ferocactus identification required
First one is Ferocactus latispinus
Second one is Fero. emoryi
The third looks to me like a Melocactus, not sure which species.

Think the Fero is more likely to be Wislizeni than Latispinus.

I don't think that the first one is Ferocactus latispinus. Quite certain, really.kamos wrote:First one is Ferocactus latispinus

I do think you are correct regarding the other two.
