Mammilaria sp.JPG Any thoughts on this Mammillaria? It is 5 years old and about 3 inches high. I have a name in my mind of "doxyacantha" which does not exist... so any help is appreciated. Shmuel By the way, many thanks to Spence who set me straight on add photo is really "attachment...

Hi Dave. Thanks for the info and links. The fishbone never flowered, though I have had it for a number of years. Probably not enough light. Some of the cladodes are almost a meter long. The other will have to be Selenocerius sp or S. vagan aff. (if I can do such a thing.) It also has nebver flowered...

Thanks Spence,

Pretty good. The search goes on.

Hi CactusMad,

Please realize that I (and probably others) like browsing these posts to test our knowledge or perhaps to get insights. I would appreciate if you do not delete IDed cactus.

Thanks!

I have a hard time getting clear on which cacti may be good for autumn sowing and then gouing through a cold bu frost-free winter. I am actually trying to compile a reference list. For example, I know Ferocactus and Echinocactus need heat to germinate and grow, and have been very successful in plant...
