Mammillaria pectinifera
I don’t find this very floriferous but maybe that’s because they are all crammed in to the 2” pot they were sown in

Re: Mammillaria pectinifera
That looks very good! I acquired one from Cyprus cactus and I think it might flower for me too. Fingers crossed anyway:)

Re: Mammillaria pectinifera
I like this species. Mine seem to flower well, about 10 years old and potted individually. I've had them in flower this early, but not this year. The buds are just coming but the plants are still very "compact" after winter.

Re: Mammillaria pectinifera

Re: Mammillaria pectinifera
Very nice plants Ali. I really like these plants and managed to get some seed last year from eBay. Mine are a long way off flowing compared to yours. Here they are late last year around 6 months old.
