Hello bio,

I had no idea, that Mammillaria magnifica has such long fish hook spines. As for the Mammillaria backebergiana, is that your first cactus to flower?

The spines vary considerably, according to Llifle the long hooked one in each cluster can be from 15 to 55mm long. Of course, they won't look so outrageously long when the cactus is large - it's cylindrical, gets up to 40cm tall. Good looking specimen.

Wow neat spines! None of my M. Magnifica have spines that long.
