Mammillaria madness

Post by ondy »

Alright I got 4 new Mamms that I am totally lost on.

Here are the links:

I think this may be Mammillaria decipiens ssp decipiens

Could number 4 (Unknown Mammillaria #1) be Mammillaria blossfeldiana? No idea on the others...
Weird - a Euphorbia is not a cactus, yet a Pereskia is.

Hello ondy

It difficult to kwow mammillarias without flowers ,it aqlways helps


The 1 It´s decipiens as you said

the 2 coud be mammillaria elongata echinaria a variety with brown spines

The 4 I bet for mammillaria duoformis ,a close up may help ,if it has 2 hooked redish -brown spines on each mamm ,It is

Three cheers for Miguel -already he is helping with Mamms!

The third one down looks very much like the fourth only one has hooked spines and the other straight. Could these be two different forms of the same species?

Get those things to flower, Andy so Miguel can get a positive ID!
