qualia Posted February 20, 2011 hi, sorry for crappy phone pics, it's the best i can do, bunnings down the road has a stack of these, wondering if they're hahniana, they're not flowering but you can see the rings around the top which seem characteristic of hahniana, and also the spirally crown i guess, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted February 21, 2011 Could be one of the most hairless forms of M hahniana, but who knows, the photos are not helping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 solomon Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Looks like what I have labelled as M. hahniana... Mine has more fluff around the tubercles, tho I'm sure that could just be age, variation or water dislodging the fluff.. Tasty berries too Edited February 24, 2011 by PD.

0 mutant Posted February 21, 2011 tasty huh? cool to know M. hahniana ssp. woodsii is known to have really hair outfit. The normal hahniana is supposed to be more hairless, like this in the blurry photos of this post. Dunno about uses [doubt it], but it can take lots of water. I have left it 2 winters on the roof unprotected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 M S Smith Posted February 22, 2011 Ha ha ha, and I thought you were banned for being an asshole. That's likely not M hahniana. Does it have any white hair coming from the axils? ~Michael~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Teotzlcoatl Posted February 22, 2011 I AM an asshole That's likely not M hahniana. mammillaria heyderi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 qualia Posted February 22, 2011 it had small hairs on it, not large ones, is m. hahniana generally considered quite hairy or does it run the gamut from not so hairy to quite hairy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 solomon Posted February 22, 2011 Looks like a subspecies has no long whispy hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 CβL Posted February 22, 2011 Here is my Mammillaria Hahniana (it's too beautiful to cut, I need to graft the pups when they're bigger): It was IDd by a cactus and succulent expert in person, who grew it from seed from a trusted source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted February 24, 2011 Awesome specimen! here's mine. I definately have to repot this. I consider this ssp woodsii, but yours is lots more hairier to deserve the title than mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
