Mammillaria goldii
The larger one is in a 11cm clay pot and the smaller one is on a graft and in a 7 cm plastic pot and I bought this from Tony Irons in 2012. The larger one I have had since 2012. Note the difference in the flowers.

Lovely plants and flowers Sylvia, and it's interesting to see the difference between the two plants. Thanks for posting.

Re: Mammillaria goldii
Lovely plants, Sylvia. Brings back memories, this is the clone and flower shape I had back in the 1990s. The emphasis is on had because they are long gone!
This third picture is the same plant (12 headed) which had to be split up after the grafting stock was totally exhausted. Eleven of them survived.

Re: Mammillaria goldii
They are lovely plants Tony. I too had a very large one back in Surrey 9 years ago and that was on a graft but eventually died.
