Do you like Mammillarias

Here are a few in flower. Interesting to see the difference in size.

Oh, I sure do -- wonderful presentation, Ian! I think your guelzowiana may be visible from near-earth orbit.

They are bright. I can't take face-on photos because they'll burn out my camera.

That spineless M. polythele looks cool and amazing. Never seen anything like that. Looks like it snowed on top. How old is that guy? Looks huge!

I like mammillarias. I especially like full flowering ones. The M. baumii is wonderful. Nice variety, Ian.

The M. polythele is about 15 years old. It is a fairly big species and the monstrose ones are just as big.

I forgot M. blossfeldiana. Another small one with good sized flowers.

Lookin' good, Ian. Mamms are what I think of as my "comfortable, reliable" cacti. And (generally) pretty much no-fuss.
