Re: Ferocactus doubts
First is definitely a ferocactus pilosus, second is ferocactus recurvus most likely doesn't look like regular latispinus right now. If it starts having wispy radials then it is latispinus.

Re: Hello everyone, could you tell me the species? THANK YOU
Its ferocactus herrerae. Definitely not emoryi. Emoryi is easy to differentiate at this size because its spines will not be flattened. They are rounded or "needle like".

Re: Cactus ID please - all Ferocactus herrerae?? (Is one a
First... I would hesitantly call wislizeni but would bet on it being a hybrid. The middle is genuine herrerae. Horridus is no longer accepted and is considered the same as herrerae. Flowers will always be yellow on herrerae which is a quick way to differentiate between it and many wislizeni. Since w...

Re: About the size of a watch battery
It's a ferocactus of some kind too early to say exact species. Probably emoryii or wislizeni.

Re: Ferocactus plant ID, please
Could be gracilis problem though is if it is 11 years old it should have started flattening the lower central, and the upper centrals start becoming distinct. In addition wispy radials should have started appearing. Now with the information of it not getting tons of direct sun might account for this...

Re: Another ferocactus
A type of peninsulae. Based off central spine length and lack of recurve most likely subsp townsendianus.

Re: Hybridization of cacti
I know these are all possible not always easy. Stenocactus, ferocactus, echinocactus, thelocactus, leuchtenbergia. I'm not positive but I have also seen astrophytum being crossed with some of these too so I would think it's possible with all of them also.

Re: Is this a Ferocactus wislizeni?
One interesting thing I discovered about F. hamatacanthus is that the fruit is kind of like dragon fruit; soft, moist white flesh with small black seeds. It is also incredibly tart. F. wislizenii fruit is hollow and dryish inside with loose seeds. When you pick the fruit off all the seeds drop out ...
