Mammillaria species

Post by dmcac »

Hello! Here is one more batch of Mammillaria that I bought without species identity. I tentatively guessed what they might be but not sure at all. I would greatly appreciate possible help. Thanks, DM
1. Mammillaria ? It looks like M. spinosissima but it has hooked spines...
2. The closets I could think is M. spinosissima, but maybe it is M. bella?
3. Mammillaria candida (the top has been damaged after removal of plastic flower)

If you haven't been to Llifle before, try this:

http://llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/Fa ... mmillaria/

You'll be looking at 311 different Mammillaria species, but the thumbnail photos help you narrow down the ones that look closest to what you've got. #3 might be lasiacantha or a variety/subspecies thereof.
If you just want photos without all the blather, please visit my Flickr gallery.
