Wow Diane
I didn't even know that there was a white flowered variation of this popular plant! It looks fab!
I hate to be a pedant, but the correct subspecies name for this plant is ssp. rubispinus (ie not rubRispinus)
Echinocereus rigidissimus ssp. rubrispinus

No problem, David! You are, of course, quite correct, and my mistake.

That’s early, Stuart! Mine are a long way off flowering yet.

Good to hear Stuart's plant is early, as along with a bunch of tiny seedlings I have two of these which I hope might flower for the first time this year. Your plant looks stunning, Stuart

Re: Echinocereus rigidissimus ssp. rubrispinus
My biggest one has been showing buds for a few weeks now, I still think it's a couple of weeks off flowering. I expect it will be another year to wait for a couple of smaller ones which don't have any signs of buds.
I'm regretting not getting seeds for the white flowered form as well now.

Forgive me saying it el48tel but I'm glad its not just me then! Does the "rib spreading" go all the way around your plant, like it does on mine? It's hard to see past the spines on mine as they're so closely meshed together, but where they're "spread" I can't see any signs of splitting. The "spreading" seems a bit more acute one side of the plant, so I'm wondering if its to do with sunlight? It is very curious...
I seem to have two plants .... similar but not the same. And both seem to have fared well.
