07/03/2014 George Grozev  taxon changed Mammillaria sp. (Cactus, Strawberry, Pincushion) Echinocereus dasyacanthus (Texas rainbow cactus, spiny hedgehog cactus)
Pictured plants have nothing common with Mammillaria species growing in US. The large orange flowers with spiny tubes and short cylindrical stems are distinctive futures of E. dasyacanthus native to New Mexico and Texas.
