  • A group of strawberry hedgehog cacti nearly in full bloom in the Mojave desert in Southern California. Like many similar hedgehog species that are closely related, some identification keys are the flatness and color variety, but the sure method is geographical location and the physical attributes of the flowers themselves.

  • These strawberry hedgehog cacti are showing some flower buds in Joshua Tree National Park. You can see the distinctive spine coloration which is light grey at the top and reddish/pinkish-brown towards the base, which can be a helpful in identifying which member of the Echinocereus genus you have. The spines are also flattened, and somewhat "sword-like".
