My sister gave me these today, fresh from the Canary Islands. Believe it or not, I don't have these three species!

Like the middle one especially - when you find out what it is let me know!!
Not quite so new to cacti now - greenhouse up and running - a cactoholic is born!! Visits welcome - just get in touch.

That's it is Hob or to be precise A. ornatum v. niveum.

Niveum - from the Latin word nivis, meaning snow!

Re: A little present
Thanks Bill, I didn't know the variety. I have some ornatum hybrids but not the actual species, although one of the hybrids is pretty similar to a standard ornatum.
Serena, I believe these three are Notocactus leninghausii, Astrophytum ornatum, and Mammillaria melanocentra. None are too difficult to find, all are relatively easy to grow and have nice flowers.

Re: A little present
iann i would lean more towards N. warasii rather than Notocactus leninghausii for the first one (not enough ribs)

Re: A little present
Really? I'm used to seeing the big ones where the ribs and spines are really well separated.

Re: A little present
There don't seem many ribs for leninghausii. I wondered about magnifica or warasii, but not sure it's quite right for either, the areoles tend to merge more on these.
PS overlapped somewhat with Hob's post on similar lines
