Help with Two ID's Please

Post by don »

The first picture looks as if it could be a M. grusonii...or is it?

The second picture is one that was labeled m. spinosissima but as it has grown it appears to be something else...a parodia perhaps?

Would appreciate any help with ID's

The second is probably Parodia scopa. Not sure about the Mamm., though.

Mammilloydia candida, maybe?

The second could well be Parodia scopa, there are many color phases. I really like that one.
