Hi
i'm very glad to be part of you community, i read allot at the forums and learn most of my knowledge -Thanks
i have some plants in my small collection i cant recognize, can you help me with it?
this look like m. karwinskiana but i the plant are almost black, very very dark color.
i think this epithelntha species, this plant grow very very slow (the peruvious photo and this plant sowed at the same day!):
and the last there plants are crest, i think all there are cielocactus species, but which?
The Mamm looks like subsp. collinsii, clumps profusely and can go dark purple in colour.

(Gasteria, Mammillaria, small Opuntia, Cleistocactus and Sempervivum are my current special interests)
i labeled the first plant as "Mammillaria karwinskiana ssp. collinsii" like you and Tony ID,
3 & 4 i already labled as Cleistocactus saimapatanus and Borzicactus aureispinus
about 2 - the not look exactly like my Epthelnta, but the are very very slow growers - the specie of mammillaria you mentioned also know as low growers?
on one plant when i squeeze the cacti i can fell small central spine, on the second plant there is now central spine...
What name have you given the gasteria in photo 4? I can't read the label fully but the plant looks just like one I've got and I've never been sure of the species.

Hi Rod, it's labeled as "Gasteria gracilis f. variegata"
