Hello Gabriel,
those are two cute Mammillarias. With all those long spines (thorns) forming an almost impenetrable wall around the cactus stem of the Mammillaria camptotricha, do the blossoms even have a chance to fully open? Is the inside of them pure white, except for the stamens and pistil?

Nice Birds Nest Cactus. I think mine is over 20 years old.

Hello Gabriel,
I do like that Acantocalycium violaciflorum plant with its lavender colored blossoms. Do you have a flowering-size Ferocactus latispinus?
That plant does produce a beautiful purplish flower. However, that light purple (lavender) is also a pretty and not very common blossom color.

hi Harald
the flower of the Acantocalycium violaciflorum is the only one of that color that I have so far ... a very delicate color
I have ferocactus latispinus, but it is not the one seen in photo number 1 .... now it's raining, tomorrow I'll tell you the name of the ferocactus
regards
Gabriel

Hello Gabriel,
the Gymnocalycium baldianum is a cactus worth having. I do love its bright red flowers and its repeated, profuse flowering.
