Cool, I love to see them in habitat like that.

Your unknown looks like Mammillaria coahuilensis.

Beautiful flowers!

I wonder if your unknown mammillaria could be a heyderi?

I have a couple of these, although neither has bloomed as profusely as yours (they're still young). I've had a heck of a time trying to ID mine, but the more it's suggested and the more I look at various photos, I'm almost convinced it's a Mammillaria heyderi ssp meiacantha. It is very low to the ground--almost like a button--the spines are darker than the others and the flowers on one of the examples on our CactiGuide look just like yours.

My greenhouse is still struggling to get over 50F

Nice to see the plants in flower - they look very healthy
