Misidentified Mammillaria
Hi, I spent a while last year trying to work out what plant it was, and I came to the conclusion that it was a Mammillaria, but I still wasn't satisfied. This year I noticed a flower bud coming from the areole so it made me think it was something else, like a Parodia. Any ideas?

Looks like a Parodia, one of the hook-spined ones so something like P.Mutabilis is a reasonable name.

Re: Misidentified Mammillaria
So the flower opened with a lovely red colour but it made it clear it wasn't a murabilis. Any more ideas?

It is beautiful though
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: Misidentified Mammillaria
How about P microsperma which has variable flower colours (including red) and hooked spines.
