I agree, the Mammillaria goldii is a show stopper. The Gymnocactus zaragozae is also a very beautiful plant. :)
I am also impressed with your photographic skills, i.e. the nice compositions, sharpness of images and the careful selection of a black background, all of which enhance the images. Are you using a black cloth or some other tool or do you use Photoshop in order to get the desired background color? Also, what kind of camera is being used? I would assume, that it is not a point-and-shoot camera.
