Three unknown small cacti

Post by mikej »

I would appreciate any guesses on these! I would guess all three are common, and the first and last look like Mammillaria of some kind, but I'm not sure of the species. (For scale, the pots are a little over 2 1/2 inches across.)

No 3 is Mammillaria marksiana
No 2. Looks like a Parodia sp.
Not sure about the first one maybe Mammillaria albilanata.
Hope this helps.

#2 is Parodia erubescens, I think.

Maybe Mammillaria candida for the first?

Thanks so much! Mammillaria marksiana for #3 and Parodia erubescens for #2 look right, and I'm thinking Mammillaria candida looks closest for #1.
