Please help me to identify my new cactus!

Post by roz »

Hi,
I bought a new cactus a couple of hours ago. I have no idea what kind of cactus it is, although I think it's quite a common one. Its flowers are pink, and it has long spines. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
(It is the one on the left in the picture)

Definitely a Mammillaria. A picture with better lighting would help.
