Mammillaria guelzowiana
Mammillaria estabanensis
Mammillaria saboae
Mammillaria sanchez-mejoradae
Mammillaria lenta

Re: April 2018 - Mammillarias
These photos were taken on April 2nd 2014, so almost exactly 4 years ago, and demonstrate how far advanced they were compared to this year. They are only just showing buds this year and haven't yet been watered, very late in comparison!
