?Parodia and ?Coryphantha

Post by dmcac »

Hello again! Here are the pictures of two cacti that I bought without any identification to genus and species level. I guess that number 1 is from Parodia genus, maybe P. mairanana. The cactus number two looks like Coryphantha and unfortunately I had a hard time to guess the species, maybe C. compacta. I would greatly appreciate any opinion on genus and/or species identity of these plants!

Hello! Here is an update. The first cactus is blooming now. Could it be Parodia mairanana? Any opinion will be very much appreciated! (Opinions on generic identity of the second cactus will still be appreciated too. Thanks you!)

#1 looks a little like Parodia maassii

#2 could be Coryphantha calipensis
