I recently purchased 2 Mammillaria (I think!!) but that is as far as I have got with ID.
- Is it M malthildae?
- Is it M lauii or melanocentra
Many thanks in anticipation
John

Probably they are both M. zeilmanniana, with the first being the white flowered version - forma alba.

I think I would agree with Diane. Both lovely plants.

Thank you Diane and Mike - at least I did recognise them as Mammillaria (big improvement for me)
Your help is much appreciated. I could not resist buying these plants when I saw they were already starting to flower - of course I did not stop at just 2 plants!
