| Yikes! I can barely see it through all those spikes! Is the body cylindrical, like a barrel cactus, or flat-ish, like an Opuntia? |

| It's actually made of small columnar cacti grown in cluster. |

| I notice that you loose ID's a lot, well , some. I put the tags under a rock near by. I also have a folder in my Photo library where I have a picture and place a name by it when I first buy a plant. I am just now doing this because tags break and get lost in my garden. I loose ID's all the time and it is really irritating. I also hate the tags in my garden. I have a Echinocereus that looks like this but I lost its tag. Some of the hairy ones include E. triglochiiatus, E englemani, E. stramineus, E tricocereus, E nicholii. Many more. Good luck |

| Correction E. triglochidiatus....or something like that. This species has many variants with gobs of needles and some with out many needles at all. |

| Yes, it might go in the direction of Ecer stramineus, but none of the others mentioned. Jordi |
