I've got heyderi ssp. macdougali from habitat, and wrightii. You could use the viridiflora pics of mine for barbata, as it's listed as a synonym by Anderson (wrongly, though, I think). There's about 8 other ones I have, but they're only 2.5 weeks old...

Oh yeah...you could use the senilis pic from the Santa Fe Greenhouse post.

Get yer albifloras here! I can take a solo shot if you want.

M. tepexicensis, only a little one I'm afraid.

M. boolii in flower is worth having.

And I prefer my luethyi on its own roots

Mammillaria senilis.

I here you on this and think we can do some good work here, but that will be a whole other project...

Hi Daiv, when I dig myself back out of my hole, I have some pics you can have. You probably have many of what I have already but I may have pics of different aspects of the plants too.

Wow Ian that Mammillaria luethyi is amazing!

it looks very unsual, and the flowers are huge for a mammillaria. its beautiful. yet another one i have never seen before...wonder if i can get one of these.

Mammillaria luethyi is relatively new in cultivation, just starting to be common in Europe. It is still very hard to find in Oz, but it does exist and I know some people have been propagating the pups from grafts. Seed is also hard to find and unreliable.

The flowers are fairly large but the body is tiny. Possibly the best Mammillaria, it has everything (except size!).
