Hello
My two new Cacti arrived today. One between 5 and 8 years, the other around 10 years old.
Could you please help identify them? The smaller one has slightly larger tougher spines than the other.
Many thanks

Re: Two New Cacti To Identify.
Possibly two different forms of Thelocactus macdowellii?

Collection mainly of cacti, though interested in a much wider variety of plants than I can accommodate!

I think the first one is Thelocactus macdowelli, but the second looks like a pale form of Thelocactus bicolor possibly var. flavispina.
