Your Mamm's long spines and small flowers are atypical for "straight up" deherdtiana var. dodsonii, so I'm leaning more toward hybrid. The dodsonii side of its genetic heritage seems apparent, but unfortunately I don't know Mamms well enough to guess at the species that contributed the other side of the hybridization. Whatever you have, it's a pretty one.
Thank you, Steve!

Thank you very much anttisepp....lets see how it develops

What do you mean by "mixed up some seeds". Did you buy a seed mix, or mixed up the species names? If you purchased species. what species did you buy? This may help narrow down the possibilities.
In fact I received lots of unidentified seeds from someone and mixed up with other unidentified seeds...hard to know but thanks!
If that's the case, the source could be contacted for either pics, or names that were known. So were there 2 or more unidentified envelopes?
