| And this is a bit of a joke, this is Mammillaria egregia (or lasiacantha v. if you prefer). It's in it's second year and wouldn't be 1 cm across yet, that pot edge is the side of a 65mm pot ! This thing is tiny, yet it reckons it's going to have a go anyway !  | |

| I've noticed the same thing. How closely related are Mamms to Turbs? | |

| Bit of an update with some recent activity.. Another Solisia, this seed from a different supplier and it looks slightly different. Also this younger, smaller plant is able to spread it's flowers amongst the spines a little easier...  | |

| And another. I'll have to keep an eye on this one as the flowers seem a bit mutated ? Might be only because it is it's first flowering though....  | |
