On your last post, I thought M. heyderi subsp. macdougalii looked close... but you've got pics of flowers now and from what I can find, that one doesn't have pink flowers... so M. heyderi v. heyderi is probably it.

King Hedes,
Those are very healthy looking specimens. Are there any left in the field? I'd love to have a couple of them if that would be possible for postage plus a bit more for your trouble. I used to have a M. heyderi but don't see them around here now.
Thanks,
Steve
Thanks very much i'm pretty sure its Mammillaria heyderi ssp. heyderi
Steve, I dont know when i can get back to were i got em from. There leaseing it to someone for cattle right now but if i get the chance i'll let you know.

Matt, that would be great if you could but don't go out of your way. I just hope the cattle don't trample them all.
Even though it's not a fancy mamm, I've always liked this form of heyderi; the flat one with short spines.
After my post, above, I was contacted by another member who offered some two year old seed grown heyderi but the spines are longer. I bought one of them plus two other small mamms he had- grahamii and albicans.
