Hi Jeff,

That's beautiful!! Is this taken in SD? Is Mike your brother? I'm struggling for an article with a colorful photo to fill the last spot in my club's newsletter for this month - have to finish it up and send it off by Monday while my hubby is in the hospital after major surgery. Would you let me use your photos (credit given, of course) and tell me a little about this genus/species? I'm clueless when it comes to true cacti...

Hi Denise,

No brother and it's in Arizona. Mike's an FB acquiantance; I'm sure he'd let you use it, so contact him on FB.

E. t. is likely the most widespread Echinocereus, occurring in CA, AZ, NV, and maybe forms of it in the rest of the southwest, into Mexico. That's a very old plant (I'm guessing more than 25 years).

Good thoughts for Mark's recovery.

Cheers,

jh
