Hey guys, this is my current collection.

I will start with the ones that have flowered and post the rest at a later date (Gathering my photos is taking some time).

Mammillaria Zeilmanniana F.Albiflora Mammillaria Gracilis Mammillaria Carmenae Mammillaria Schwarzii Thanks for looking.

Lovely plants. That carmenae is amazing!

Thank you.

So when I repotted all but one of my plants 3 weeks ago, my Mammillaria Gracilis had a little pup which had some roots. So I replanted this separately and am hoping it will do well as I've nicknamed it Peanut.
I then have a second Mammillaria Zeilmanniana F.Albiflora which before being repotted was showing no signs of growth at all, since repotting it has sprung to life.
My next plant is an unkown Mammillaria which I believe again may be a Zeilmanniana but the coloration of it is throwing me a bit. It is darker than my other two and is budding with what seems to be reddish flowers.

This is my latest purchase, only bought it at the start of the week.

Echinocereus Rigidissimus Rubrispinus These are the oldest 3 I have. I will apologize in advance for these as I haven't looked after them properly until recently.

Parodia Warasii? Unknown - In a bit of a state after being bit by a dog years ago and not receiving enough light. Unknown - Again, lack of light and not being repotted soon enough have caused some issues. This is all of my collection, 11 plants in total. Thank you for looking.

The first 'unknown' above looks like a Trichocereus (now Echinopsis).

Thank you.

The two cacti that were left to flower have now done so.

Mammillaria Zeilmanniana F.Albiflora (2nd Specimen)
Mammillaria Sp

Well this is a bit late, but I thought I would post an update for 2019.

I have only repotted one of my plants this year and that was an emergency as it was knocked off the windowsill and the pot broke. I've only bought 2 new plants this year and those will probably be my last for a very long time as I don't have the space for any more.

Mammillaria Zeilmanniana Echinocereus Rigidissimus Rubrispinus One of the plants I showed before is etoliated from a lack of knowledge before, but it has shown amazing growth since. When I repotted it last year it had very little sign of recovery. The roots were almost non existant. Just goes to show how hardy cactus are:

2018: 2019:

These are my 2 new purchases for 2019.

Mammillaria Hahniana Mammillaria Carmenae 'Red Form' Thanks for looking.

Great to see year over year progress! Thanks for sharing...

They all are looking good. My M. zeilmanniana albiflora was blooming practically all summer, not particularly prolifically but steadily. Hope yours (and all the others) will have a great blooming season.

Well time for an update on my plants. Things have certainly changed since my last post. I now have over 40 plants, mostly Gymnocalycium's and Mammillaria's but also have many 2 month old seedlings on the go.

Here's some pictures of some my flowering cacti this year:

Gymnocalycium Baldianum Gymnocalycium Mesopotamicum Gymnocalycium Stenopleurum Gymnocalycium Bruchii var. Brigittae Mammillaria Zeilmanniana I do have more that have flowered that I failed to get photo's of, and I also have more in bud so hopefully should have more photo's soon. Thanks for looking.

Very nice cacti, I see they like very much your care.
That unknown fellow with pretty new head as you guessed is motherinlaw's chair = Echinocactus grusonii. Don't cut it, it will grow much bigger and thin neck will be compressed by the time.
