Replies: "The body form is right for E. grusonii but the spines are not right. The new spines should be longer and more yellow. Of course these could by a hybrid of some sort. I know E. grusonii has a spineless form and a white spine form. Perhaps these are Echinocactus platyacanthus. You don't see it as often as E. grusonii but it has a similar form. Bob (Maryland) "
"Echinocactus yes JM, But not grusonii, these look to be E. platyacanthus, a much larger growing Echinocactus.
