The plants are just getting started, since they grow outside in the ambient temps. I think it's been a cool spirng so far here.

I'm going to post up all the flower pics from this season in this same thread, to keep things compact. Hope you enjoy.

Love the emerald green of Echinocereus "viridiflorus" canus:

G. wrightii, GL704, spines turn purple after watering:

Echinomastus intertextus:

Mam. lasiacantha, Jarilla Mtns:

Echinofossulocactus phyllacanthus violaciflorus:

Echinocereus russanthus:

E. viridiflorus:

Pediocactus winkleri RP132:

Glandulicactus wrightii flowers, love the coloring:

happy spring!

lookin good Peterb,
Ive been growin that Echinocereus "viridiflorus" canus for a few years now, It looks to be the same size as yours. I sure hope I get some buds this year.

Tony, hope you get some flowers too. Great color against those awesome spines. I was worried it wouldn't be cold enough here but it must be. "viridiflorus" in quotes because I'm skeptical...

With flowers that green why be skeptical

Good stuff, Peter!

My canus is probably the only Echinocereus that doesn't have buds yet

but it has grown about an inch taller already

Nice flowers. Are the flowers on the E. canus fragrant?

They're all coming along nicely. We're due for snow this weekend

the canus flowers don't have a noticeable fragrance Chris. Maybe if it were hotter.
