Some ongoing Mamillaria activity.
M. Rhodantha just keeps blooming. It's just been amazing and still shows no sign of stopping. One of the blooms has set a fruit. That's the first Mammillaria to do that.
M. karwinskiana subsp. nejapensis has decided to bloom. The open blooms aren't much, but the red striped buds are cool. There's at least one other bud showing, but if there are more than that they hiding under the cotton.
This M. species has also been blooming for a long time and there are a lot of buds still to bloom. They circle the barrel, but they only bloom a few at a time in a little colony - never makes the ring. The thing here, though, is that this one is losing the round barrel and elongating into more of a column.
And I purchased this M. elongata 'Copper King' cristata. I already had the non-cristate form of 'Copper King' and thought it would be interesting to observe both growing.
