Yes, a nice plant. A lot of mammillaria flowers are rather small and colourless - but there are some notable exceptions, e.g. guelzowiana.

Re: Mammillaria lasiacantha v. Denudata
Agreed.
The texture of the outer part of the plant is worth it alone.
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.

Re: Mammillaria lasiacantha v. Denudata
I wouldn‘t complain about any flower at this time of year! Do you find lasiacantha tricky to grow? It has a reputation for being so, but seedlings one year in seem to be ok. It probably doesn’t hurt to keep an eye on them in any event.

Re: Mammillaria lasiacantha v. Denudata
It isn't a typical-looking plant. The spines are usually more flattened against the body and overlapping. Regular M. lasiacantha has small flowers but they can be quite colourful in their own way, looking less lost when the plants are still small themselves.
