Mammillaria sp. ID please

Post by BobbyZ »

This is a columnar mammillaria with offsets at the bottom and mid body. It has curved central reddish spines and pink flowers with white edges and yellow stamen ~ 1.5 cm wide. The flowers only last two days My guess is M. thornberri. thanks Bobby Z

This looks like that new M. mazatlanensis clone that has shown up in the last year or so.
