The Echinocereus reichenbachii baileyi has beautiful light brown to orange-red spines on top of the cactus. Also, the upper areoles have a white color and they form some wool around the spines. The spines mainly grow sideways to protect the plant body, but also some that grow forwards. The rest of this cactus has a dark green color.
