One of the best reasons Ian, I also consider them quite pest free. Nice picture.

Beautiful flower, definitely a good reason to grow them.

It is a reason. Very nice. Pink Echinocereus was a theme over here too.

Possibly the reason!
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.

Mal, which species of Echinocereus is this? Assuming it is the same species. Otherwise I would like to know the name of the top and left ones.

All different. From the labels.
Top is scopulorum (sbcat257.7)
In front of that: left is baileyi, right is purpureus.
In front of those pectinatus v. wenigeri SB380
Bottom is palmeri ssp. escobedensis MA074

Palmeri is one of my faves and I have multiple collections that differ. I took a close up the one here:

Thanks. The Echinocereus scopulorum just went on my list of species to buy as seed next winter.
