Your outdoor E. triglochidiatus looks promising, Mark! I have a heavy spined form in flower at the moment... It has a rather thick stem (and only one of those so far), which goes a nice purple-ish colour during winter in the cold greenhouse.

I thought from the spines that this might be E stramineus. But now it’s in flower, it is not the same colour as the example in John Pilbeam’s book. Could this just be a disappointingly pale flowered form, or is it something else?
What do you think?

The apical spines look very brown for stramineus.
I'd go for coccineus. Though not the most exciting flower colour.

That looks nice Christian and those flowers look a lot like mine from what I can remember from last years blooms. The current gloomy wet weather has slowed down the growth of the buds a bit but it is slowly getting there. Hoping for a bit more sun soon to give them the push they need.

Two clones of Echinocereus triglochidiatus mohavenis flowering together. So different in spination, so similar in flower. These are the same age and grow right next to each other in the greenhouse so this is all nature, not nurture.

Beautiful species isn’t it!

My 1 spined triglochidiatus is a few days away from opening its first ever flower, I don’t suppose you have any spare pollen?

Simply beautiful
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.

That is nice, my Echinocereus all seem to be shades of red or purple.
