This shows just how variable cacti can be! All the plants were grown from MG seed on the 9/1/13.
Mammillaria tezontle I hope they flower this year!

My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

It does look similar. Yours has more open curly spination and a darker body though.

There haven't been so many new flowers in the past weeks, but I guess it's quality not quantity! :P

Lobivia sp
Image

Epiphyllum Hybrid "Pop Orange" -This isn't an official hybrid name, I just thought it fitted :D
Image

Epiphyllum Hybrid "Flamethrower" Again, not an official name.

And I finally get a good photo of Setiechinopsis mirabilis
