Echinocereus apachensis . The flower was just starting to close when I snapped it . Please post your Echinocerus flowers, there another one of my faves and would be good to see what's in bloom.

Beautiful flower Fero, Echinocereus are favourites of mine as well.

Few buds, but not flowers at the moment.

Beautiful

I have Echinocereus viridiflorus in flower at the moment... it's a nice plant with a marvellous scent to boot.

That's lovely Christian, it's a real bonus when flowers have a lovely scent, I enter the greenhouse and you know something is flowering before you've even spotted it.
Very colourfull spines

Very nice plants

I have a few of mine in flower at the moment:

Echinocereus knippelianus v. kruegeri.
Echinocereus roetteri
Echinocereus salmdyckianus
Echinocereus huitcholensis fa lau 768
Echinocereus triglochidiatus v gurneyi
And finally Echinocereus triglochidiatus v melanacanthus with flower buds in my outside cactus bed.

Wow they're lovely Mark, great mix of colors and something to look forward to. These really are tough plants.

It's great when the outdoor ones flower. I regularly get buds on E. triglochidiatus, but need some luck with the weather for them to open properly. E. viridiflorus used to be more reliable, but I lost it a couple of years ago and haven't planted out another one yet.

I wonder would anybody be able to identify this one for me.
I guess it was grown from seed in 1999 but this is the first time it has flowered.
Label was lost but I do have some possible names from the seed list to cross check if somebody can guess.

Echinocereus coccineus
