0 Sola Posted May 9, 2011 I think you're right with the Turbinicarpus names but not sure about the Mammillaria, don't have any reference material for that. Awesome plants though thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bℓσωηG Posted May 9, 2011 Turbs look right for their labelling... heres a link to mammillaria.net http://www.mammillarias.net/gallery/mammillaria_species.php?searchstring=boolii&lg=uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted May 9, 2011 #2 looks like it could be a Coryphantha. Have a look at the upper side of the tubercle and see if it has a grove that runs from the areole tip to the inner axil. Such grooves are typical of the genus. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 mac Posted May 10, 2011 the top image looks like a young gymnocalycium mihanovichii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 san p Posted May 10, 2011 yeah thats the closest thing i can find to it,but it doesnt quite match any pics i can find of gymno mihanovichii though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mac Posted May 10, 2011 It looks like it just has not filled out yet because its a young plant here is one i have had for a few of years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sola Posted May 10, 2011 I wouldn't have picked the Coryphantha, good one. I'd agree with Mac on the Gymnocalycium mihanovichi, the tufts are interesting. Could be variation in the species or it might be about to flower, mine doesn't get tufts like that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
