Mammillaria ...?

Post by VickyH »

I've had Mammillaria1 and Mammillaria2 for some time now, but I still haven't been able to ID them. Mammilaria0 belongs to a friend who hasn't been able to ID either. I suspect Mammillaria0 and Mammillaria1 might be the same species ....?? :? :? :?

The first two are definitely not the same species. The second one is M. parkinsonii and both plants are growing out of shape because they need a little more light (they should be round and not elongated). As fot the third one, it may be M. glassii.

I think you may be right. Mine had small yellow flowers, just like baumii. Thank you!
