Echinocereus apachensis

Named after the Apache trail - a road near Phoenix, AZ, where this plant is very common. Echinocereus apachensis is not well-known among the collectors, but very interesting plant, mainly because of it's long spines - usually not longer that 4 inches, but sometimes up to 5 inches long.

Echinocereus viridiflorus

This is one of the most frost-hardy cacti, found as far north as Wyoming. Interesting greenish flower appear in spring, same as most other Echinocerei.

Mammillaria leptacantha

Another Mammillaria with interesting shaggy appearance.

Mammillaria candida

Another 'classic' Mammillaria, long time been in cultivation. This is usually solitary plant, but there are also freely clumping forms known.

Rebutia pygmaea 'diersiana'

Rebutia pygmaea flowering time again. I have a group of may be 40 of these small plants sharing the shallow 8-inch pot, today all covered with flowers.

Epithelantha micromeris

The tiny flowers are about 2-3 mm across, and will set red fruit even without pollinator's intervening.

Sulcorebutia steinbachii

ID-in Sulcorebutia in many cases can be tricky - hundreds of forms are combined into species following some obscure logic, and lots of plants and seeds in trade are miss-labeled. This plant was grown from seeds labeled 'losenickyana' but does not match any reliable losenickyana image I could find.
