At the 2016 National Show I purchased two different looking grafted Toumeya papyracantha. Within a very short while both scions had dried up and disappeared.I left the stocks where they were and the next year they both started to offset. This year they have both flowered.

Very nice! Do you know what they are?

I know that they are Echinocereus. I would hazard a guess at baillyi??

Yes, they both look like they're in that group. I have an E. reichenbachii var albispinus in flower today and it is almost identical to the right hand plant.

John; Echinocereus do have the ability to grow from the roots and can sometimes send up new shoots well away from the mother plant.
The guys above are spot on, they are both E. reichenbachii with the left pale spine plant being the form albispinus sometimes called baileyi var. albispinus and the right hand plant with orange spines is E. reichenbachii subsp. baileyii
Quite an unusual choice for a stock I may give that a go with some Ariocarpus and see what happens.
