Am I Mammillaria?

[yukomkom]

Hi guys, I bought this cactus 2 years ago and had an assumption that it might have been some of Mammillaria. Now I've decided to find more about it. But unfortunately, I can't find it in my book. Is it indeed Mammillaria? Maybe you would know the exact name? Or is it something else?

Yes, it's a Mammillaria. It looks like a pale-spined M. rhodantha ssp. pringleii.

Hi guys.
This year it's finally blossomed (actually it's started in the middle of summer, looks like it's gonna blossom till the mid or end of October ). I want to post this photos here, maybe it will be useful for someone searching for this plant.

The flowers also look right for M. rhodantha - and it has one of the longest blooming periods of any cactus. Mine always has flowers on it into December.

"Regular" M. pringlii have golden spines. I've never seen one this pale. I'd buy one if I'm saw one. Nice plant!

If you search online, you can find pictures of some. I've never seen any for sale around here, though.

It is very beautiful.

Thanks))) To be honest bought it when was visiting Hungary at Ikea close to Budapest in plastic container together with Parodia leninghausii and Pilosocereus gounellei
