Minime8484's C&S Collection - 2012

I thought I would start a thread with my collection in it - it seems like fun!
First to bloom for me this year is my first ever bloom of
Mammillaria hernandezii. Really love this plant, and seems to do really well in-ground - despite having been stepped on by the crew removing a fallen Eucalyptus from my yard last fall!
I hope you all enjoy some of the pics I hope to post!
Cheers,
Tristan

All M. hernandezii are beautiful but yours has particularly attractive and well-delineated spines. Kudos!

And, my first bloom ever from my
Thelocactus lausseri also opened today - I didn't think it would ever maneuver its way past the spines!

Another new bloomer for me today -
Mammillaria bombycina. I know it is pretty common, but I finally broke down and got one this year, as the spination is really nice. Glad I did!
