Well that's no surprise Hywel I shouldn't think there are very many that you haven't got are there , is yours in flower are they all the same colour ?
14 Feb, 2012
It's starting to flower now. Yes it's the same colour as yours.
There is a white variety of this species but I haven't got one.

Look at them flowers.. only ever had 1 cactus flower in 30 years :o((
15 Feb, 2012
I'm not a cacti person Mushy , our granddaughter use to collect them ,sometimes they made their way to us ,I'm afraid I just leave them to fend for themselves most of the time, we only have a couple of other ones ......
Thank you Hywel I haven't noticed a white one either !
15 Feb, 2012
lol :D I've just seen the name you put for it. It's Mammillaria - because the little tubercles are said to resemble nipples :o)

Oh Hywel !! stop laughing ! I'll go back and correct it now LOL.. clever clogs :o))
