Making clumps is perfectly normal for quelzoviana once they are large enough.

I really like the Aztekium hintonii. I have been trying to find some for a while now! Still keeping my eyes open though. Great collection!

Mammillaria hernandezii is making some nice flowers along with a few others.

M. solisioides with a ring of flowers. I don't quite get this as synonymous with M. pectinatus...

Thanks all for your comments!

Tony, I think I got that plant from TeeDee on ebay. It's huge! (that's a 3.75" pot) I get the impression that these are normally quite small. I kinda like my miniatures miniature...

Yeah, seems quite a stretch to make it an ssp. of pectinifera. I don't think many people hold to that. Although, I think a lot of growers prefer the genus Solisia for this and especially for pectinifera.
