Name that Cactus
Morning all. Friend of mine has sent me the picture below asking if I can name the species. I think it’s a Mammillaria but can’t go further than that. Anyone got any ideas?

Mammillaria chionocephala perhaps.

Re: Name that Cactus
I suggest you ask them for a photo of the plant not just a close up of a section of it....

Re: Name that Cactus
I love the photo - texture n pattern are superb
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

One for this month's photo competition perhaps. It's open to anyone to enter.
