I'm not familiar.

mmmm. Echinocereus ferreirianus ssp. lindsayi.

Rare, hard to grow, from Baja California, so likes it warm in winter. All the things I try to avoid.
With that said I have some ferreirianus coming from seed, but they're not nearly as showy as lindsayi.
We'll see how it goes..

Apparently (I haven't seen the first description), Jorge Meyrán named the plant after George Lindsay and his wife. lindsayi - either at species or subspecies level - is, therefore, an error to be corrected, to lindsayorum.

I've killed two plants through not keeping it warm enough over winter, I think - it is a Baja California native after all - so I'm impressed to see such a sized plant.

Your daily dose.
